Create a Helping Tree Classroom Display

(0)
A novel idea for a classroom display where all the children contribute, with a link to PSHE. The idea is that the children produce hand prints, either using the outlines included or making hand prints and cutting around these. There are black and white and colour hand prints included. On each hand print, the children write, draw or paste a picture related to helping. Examples of ideas - people that help us, things we can do to help ourselves and others. Use a giant painted hand as the tree and add all the hands as leaves. Very nice for a school entrance where the display can inspire and motivate children.
