The P5 enjoyed a morning with Mt St Michael’s children. To begin the session the children completed an Ice-Breaker Activity called A Pair of Hands. In this activity the children had to find out facts about their partner – i.e. Name, brother/sisters, hobby, pets etc. After break the children completed the following task:
Velveteen Rabbit
Task
Make a Desk Top Buddy.
Use the materials to make an “Incomplete Rabbit” which can sit on your desk to hold pencils, pens and markers. When making your desktop buddy deliberately leave off an ear or an eye or a nose so that when you look at it you will remember that the boy loved the Velveteen Rabbit even more when it was well worn and scruffy.
When you have completed your Desktop Buddy I want you to think about two things that you like about it and 1 improvement you could make to it. Record these on the sheet.
