Creepy Crawlies... insect workshop

 I thought I would share with you a few of the insects that a year 5 group make with me this afternoon in a sculpture workshop.  We used pieces of driftwood, wire and old screws and nails.

 I was really pleased with how it went, and the insects they created were fabulous.  I'm looking forward to next weeks session with another group.

What do you think?

Fun in the sun

Had a fantastic time in Puerto de Pollensa, Mallorca.  I recommend a visit, hopefully we will be returning, with plans to visit more of the island.

We did an awful lot of this...

... and managed to join in some of the carnival atmosphere in Pollenca.  I would have loved to spend some more time in Pollenca, just having a mooch about but the fiesta was a week long and was teaming with people.

We heard lots of grasshoppers/crickets/cicadas whilst we were away, and on our final day a huge grasshopper/cricket decided to come to visit us...

... my daughter was quite taken by it and decided to let it have a wander on her arm...urgh!!!

The felt I took didn't get touched.  I am not sure felt would be the fabric of choice to work with in a hot country!!!!!  Raring to go though and have a few projects up my sleeves.
