Brrrr, It's Cold in Here!
We have spent the last two weeks constructing mugs of hot chocolate as part of our Visual Arts learning.
First, we used lollipop sticks and PVA glue to construct the body of the mug. Then, we took some time to paint them. Finally, we used pipe cleaners to construct a handle, cotton wool to create marshmallows and sequence to decorate our mugs. Now, we use our imagination and pretend that our mugs are filled with tasty hot chocolate!
This activity not only got our creative juices flowing, but helped us to develop our fine motor skills. This activity also connected nicely to some other aspects of our learning, e.g. Winter is approaching and learning about "Bia" in Gaeilge.
We hope to get the chance to enjoy some hot chocolate for real over the coming weeks!
