Winter Snowflakes

The children became artists and created their own snowflakes. Mrs Clark and the children talked about snowflakes and how they are made, the way they look and the fact that they are symmetrical. The children were given three pipe cleaners and asked to lay them on top of each other to create star shape. They twisted the top pipe cleaner over the other two to make a six branched snowflake. The children were asked to thread beads on to each branch of their snowflake. The children were encouraged to create a pattern. When the branch was nearly full they turned the end of the pipe cleaner over to secure the beads. Great snowflakes Kingfishers.
