Hut Building

We were working together today to build huts with blankets and tables.
Some of us had never made a hut before and it was very exciting.

How should we put the tables?

I'm already in a hut!
 

This blanket keeps slipping. What should we do?

We had to work together to solve problems.

Some questions we needed to figure out were:
How do we build a hut? What things do we need? 
How do we arrange the tables? Can we use chairs? 
How do we stop the blankets slipping?

Our roof is high so we have lots of room.

We used two blankets and put blocks on top to stop them moving.

"I can see you!"

"Come in. We have toys in our hut."

We had a visitor in our huts. Do you know who it was?

Our Springtime Visitors

Akomanga Rima had some very special spring time visitors. 
Kelly and her children showed us their two lambs.



One lamb was white and one lamb was black. 
The white lamb was Michael and the black lamb was Cuddles. 


Cuddles and Michael

They ran around the class and we got to pat them. 
Some people got to feed the lambs some milk from a bottle.
Michael drank his bottle fast and then tried to drink all of Cuddles milk too.
