Can you compare it to another school close by? - Discuss the following- What are the special places in our school? What makes them special? Natural and Built Features of Our School - Natural features are all living and non-living things that occur naturally on Earth (example-trees).Built features are areas that are created for people, by people. They are used for human activity (example-basketball court). What are the natural and built features of your school? Caring For School - Special places need people to care for them.

GIFT IDEA – Photo Frame Items Required: Photo (of you, the family, a favourite place) Cardboard (the thicker the cardboard, the better the outcome) Paint Craft glue Scissors Ruler Marker Link to video: https://youtu.be/tk2XZWCr0kk Procedure

1. Ensure your cardboard is larger than your photo

2. Mark a 1-2 cm margin around your border

3. Cut the rectangle which will be your base

4. You will need to create the border. The length and width need to be the same length as the base frame. Most photos are 15cm x 10 cm so a 1 cm frame would need the long borders to be 17cm and the shorter sides would be 12cm.

5. Glue the photo into the centre of the base frame. Let dry.

6. Paint the 4 border strips. Let dry.

7. Glue on the top and bottom border frames and then the side borders. Let dry.

8. Write some positive words that describe your special person.

GIFT IDEA – Coupons Items Required: Cardboard/paper Container Paint Scissors Ruler Markers Container Link to video: https://youtu.be/SXGigCrSpp4 Procedure

1. Decide the type of cards you wish to create: a. Shapes cut out b. Rectangles cut from paper/cardboard c. Cardboard palm cards/index cards (pre-cut cards)

2. If shapes, trace a template or freehand draw and cut out.

3. If rectangles cut from paper/cardboard, use a ruler to mark the rectangles and cut out

4. If cardboard pre-cut cards, you are ready for the next step

5. Decide what jobs/tasks you are willing to offer such as do the gardening or make a sandwich (see suggestions at the end). Write one task for each card. You can have a few cards with the same thing written on them.

6. Find a container to use to store the cards. I used a take-away plastic container which I painted.

7. Place cards inside and your gift is ready to present.

The concept is that when the person gives you the card, you do the task written on the card. Once the card is used, it is thrown away. Suggested Tasks A hug from me A car wash by me The sweeping of the patio/verandah The vacuuming of the house The serving of a drink (eg I will bring a glass of water to you on request) Request I play a game with them Foot massage Request I watch a movie with them Back massage Request I watch a television show (including sport) with them The removal of rubbish (such as putting out the bin) To make a sandwich of their choice Do the gardening

GIFT IDEA – Handprint Man Items Required: Cardboard/paper Paint (ideally 4 different colours) Marker/texta Coloured paper Glue Scissors Link to video: https://youtu.be/uTiE9Cc6428 Procedure

1. Your cardboard needs to be the length of your two hands touching each other top to bottom.

2. Select a paint colour to be your hair (I chose white) and paint your 3 middle fingers and little finger. Select a paint colour to be your head (I chose orange) and paint your palm and thumb. With your fingers near the top of the cardboard, press your hand (with your thumb stretched out and fingers slightly apart) onto the cardboard. You will need to add the second ear. (You may need to fill in the gaps if your palm doesn’t leave a full print). Wash your hands.

3. Select a paint colour to be your legs (I chose green) and paint your 3 middle fingers. Select a paint colour to be your body (I chose purple) and paint your palm, thumb and little finger. With the base of your palm almost touching the base of your palm already on the cardboard, press your hand (with your thumb and little finger spread out) onto the cardboard. (You may need to fill in the gaps if your palm doesn’t leave a full print). Wash your hands.

4. I made a tie for my person by cutting out a tree on some Christmas wrapping paper but you could add a hammer in their hand or create a toolbelt if you wished.

5. Complete the facial features.

6. Tidy up the cardboard so it has neat edges and you may want to decorate it.
