Year 4.1 – The Secret Garden
In THE SECRET GARDEN written by Frances Hodgson Burnett, a young British girl is orphaned by an earthquake in India and is sent back to England to live in her uncle’s castle. Soon, she discovers a beautiful garden on the property and explores its secrets.

Creating a kite using twigs and leaves,/pretend car using loose wooden parts.
Children were given a triangular piece of paper cut in the shape of a kite. They were given leaves and twigs, some glue and string. We built a kite together using nature loose objects such as leaves and twigs. They eventually, which was quite interesting, went to use the loose wooden parts and pretend play that they are driving a car.
