Our termite freeze

Termites are social animals and work together for the survival of the termite colony. Gill and I decided to use a very practical lesson to show the children how co-operation can bring about great results. We put our classes into three groups...

One group drew the termite mound, broke up egg boxes into small pieces and stuck them on them onto the paper to create the mound.

The other group made fingerprint, termites.

Ria and Kwandile drew the aardvark, somehow I did not get a photo of them at work, but you will see the result of their work when you look at the end result.

At the end we all assembled the frieze and everyone had great fun sticking ants all over the mound and on the aardvark.

The end result was amazing. My class could really see how their hard work and co-operation paid off.
