'Stick Insects'

One of the reading groups in Ropu Mahuri have insects as their context for learning. One of their follow up activities from their Shared Reading text was designed to challenge them to apply their understanding. Constructing an insect from sticks was a hands on task that showcased how well they could follow instructions and work collaboratively with a buddy. They also showed creativity and critical thinking when they chose sticks that suited each part of the insects anatomy.
