Grade 2 World Cup Soccer team!

Last Friday, we did a bit of measurement. After measuring and weighing each other we graphed the results. Once everyone got the idea of recording results on a graph, my class really enjoyed the activity. They found it great fun seeing who was the tallest,shortest, heaviest and lightest. 

This activity got Gill and I thinking .... how nice it would be for them to draw around themselves and see practically the tallest and shortest. 

So we thought seeing that it is time for the World Cup Soccer tournament in Brazil..seems like it was here just the other day! We would make 'mini-me' soccer players as part of our display for next term. 

We had great fun..first we traced around each other.

Next we cut our body shapes out...

Today we went to the art room and painted on the soccer kit. 

Once that was dry, everyone drew their favourite/lucky number and their name on the front of their shirt. I took a photo of each child's face, which we stuck on to make their 'people' more identifiable.

I think the results look fantastic! They are proudly on display at the back of the classroom, all ready to embark on our round the world trip to Brazil for the soccer!
