D.I.Y jewellery

In extension to our current interest within the Phoenix House at the moment of 'Construction' we set up a learning experience where the Phoenix House children were able to construct their own piece of jewellery by using different coloured straws and fishing wire. While some children decided to make  bracelets, others decided to make necklaces and some children decided to make both! :)

This activity required a lot of focus and attention as they threaded their coloured straws into the wire.  You conveyed patience, persistence and a great amount of creativity when choosing your colours and patterns with your colour sequences.

A lot of you also mentioned how you would like create another one for your brother, sister, mums or dads which was very thoughtful of you :)
We will be sure to re-visit this activity but perhaps using different materials that we can experiment with in terms of shape, size, and colour.
