Lesson Plans

Planning the lessons was really tricky for me as I figured out that to create the back packs there is a certain order to do them in and I would have to do the actual cable tying of all the peaces to the corx for the children.

My first attempt of the lesson order: Lesson 1 - paper masha
                                                        Lesson 2 - Rap all the wire
                                                        Lesson 3 - Cut and stick yellow peaces onto the leggs. Paint eyes
                                                        Lesson 4 - Tie dey

I was not sure how to attach the back packs all together. If I could drill holes and then take it into the school and the children can put it together them selfs using the cable ties but it could be very fidally and I haven't budgeted for any spare cable ties and they all need to be done tight and really securely and with the two classes of 30 Im not sure if I would be able to monitor everything they do.  So I will have to bring everything back to bournemouth and put the back packs together my self and travel them back to weymouth finished for the children.

After having a meeting with Adele to figure out my problems with the lessons we came up with a better  plan of my lessons.
