Union Jack for the Queen

20:16

Today was the 60th Anniversary of the Queen's Coronation, and as we were watching the celebrations on TV with all of the people lined up with their flags, I thought that we might make a flag for the Queen.  Even though we weren't there it is great to feel a part of something like that, community spirit and celebrations are all a part of Personal, Social and Emotional Development.


I used red, white and blue foam sheets and cut out the shapes of the Union Jack (seems a lot more difficult than it actually was).  Then I gave Ethan all of the pieces, some PVA glue and a glue spreader.  Ethan still hasn't quite got the hang of sticking activities, he doesn't seem to like touching the glue and doesn't seem to understand what I'm asking when I want him to spread it around with the glue spreader.  So today I ended up doing most of the gluing, then I helped him to put the cross in the middle and pointed to the spots where the other shapes go.  We ended up with quite a cute 'abstract' Union flag (hopefully the Queen won't mind ;)
