WOW - Final day

We spent this morning thinking about "Living Things". We began in awe of the amazing variety of living things. In 5 minutes we had thought of 95 different types and we still had many more in mind.

We all made a "Grass Head". At least it doesn't have any grass yet but we hope, if we keep it moist, it will have in a few weeks time!!! They were quite complicated to make.

We began with an old sock.

Then we found a pair of buttons which Christine kindly sewed on for us - as eyes!








After that we put grass seed into the toe of the sock before filling it with potting compost!



























Finally we had to soak our head in a bucket of water - that's our grass head, of course, not our actual head - before sticking a mouth on the front and standing it in a recycled cup!







They look a bit weird but hopefully they will look better when the grass grows!













We also made some milk bottle fish. Annie and Chris squashed the bottles and cut out the tails and we decorated them.



















Amazingly, they looked pretty good!







When we had done that,we went into the grounds to see if we could find any living things out there. It was pretty chilly but at least it didn't rain!

We saw grass, trees and flowers and were amazed to see the fungi growing in the grass.






We were not so confident about the bees that we saw collecting nectar from the flowers.












We also found minibeasts under logs - mainly spiders, ants and woodlice!








We finally finished our song and put it together with our shakers, and Sue's flute, in church. It sounded pretty good! Listen out for it on Sunday!!!





We ended the morning with a story that Jesus had told about 2,000 years ago. It was a parable - the parable of the Sower! It can be found in the Bible (Matthew 13 verses 1-9).

We all felt quite sad that this was the last day of WOW but many of us are looking forward to the service at 10.30 a.m. on Sunday.
