When I was at primary school many moons ago, I loved the spirograph set that  received as a Christmas present one year.  This week in class I got my students to investigate what spirographs were and then they had to create their own great examples using a website link.  Of course this was a little different to how we used to make them but fun none the less.

For those of you who do not know what the spirograph toy was it is a geometric drawing tool that creates curves using equipment similar to gears on a bike.  It gave me hours of fun when I was young and this week in class my students enjoyed creating some wonderful examples.

This was our contribution to the Fruit and Vegetable garden outside Room 11.  All the classes did an amazing job creating their wonderful scarecrows.  The Farmer found a wife outside in the vegetable patch this time.
