Back in the Classroom – Creating Pets from Play Dough

It has been a very busy week in Grade 1Fn. As usual we have been working very hard at our Mathematics, Literacy and Life Skills. The week culminated with a visit from two special little kittens brought to the classroom by the parents of one of the little girls.   How still they sat and how gentle they were with the two kitties, Boo and Bloo.  Some of the girls do not have pets of their own so getting to cuddle and kitty was a special thrill.

  Later we had a powerpoint presentation on pets, discussed what pets need and how they benefit us, learned a funny English poem about feeding birds and an Afrikaans one about ‘n apie (little monkey). Then the fun began and we modelled animals from play dough.

  1. What lovely and beautiful children you have in your class. The little kitties were sweet as well but I am not a cat fan. Mother had 13 at one stage and they always had babies in my wardrobe.

    • Mary, Thanks for your comment. I feel your pain! 13 kitties are are bit much! And having them in your wardrobe couldn’t have been fun. Love my two cats though!
