DIY - MODEL OF MY SCHOOL

'How about creating a model of your school?' I asked my son. 

'Oh yes ! It's easy, I can create it, Amma ' replied my son. 

School was locked down for 5 months. Lets see, how he created the model. 

THINGS REQUIRED :

Empty cereal or any boxes

Plain Cardboard

Trees or plant cutting from the magazines

Few net packs.

STEPS HE FOLLOWED :

1) Remember his school, took a paper and drew a rough draft re-collecting the building structure.

2) Assembled the empty boxes in the same structure, glued them thick and allowed it to try for a day.

3) Painted the building in Red, the colour of his school building. Fences in brown.

4) Glued Trees and Plants cutting to the fences.

5) Fixed the basket ball pole using paper straw and basket using net pack.

6) Fixed the food ball goal pole using net packs.

7) See-saw with children paper cutting and Pizza hold as Chair.

I observed various developments in him, 

• Drew the rough draft of the model.
• Chose the box sizes to suite his structure.
• He created the model with his own perceptions.
• Stayed calm and focused on perfections.
• Took two days completely to re-create it.

Great Appreciation for his creation and patience.

CONIFEROUS FLOWERING PLANT

Nature will be always amazing and give us many surprising facts, after moved away by a weeping willow tree, this coniferous flowering plant with cute little purple flowers grabbed my attention. 

So many surprising things....the purple flowers will be grown as single bud/flower only, not in bunches, covering the whole plant. From a distance, it appears as decorating purple stars in a Christmas Tree.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY - BLACKPOOL BEACH, UK

Sight of a beach always gives us a broad smile. Visiting them during Summer break is even more special. With lots of laughters around and children playing with their kites and walking to and fro from the waves is a happy feel. But at times, especially during lockdown, with minimal people and noise..... could hear only the laughter of the waves.
