This is the finished product.
Close up
This is how I started. I cut a piece of cardboard in the shape of a grape cluster and taped balloons to each side. I also taped a pole across the top so that it could be carried. Added greenery tissue paper and voila! Giant Grapes!
We left our 'camp' (classroom), climbed up the 'mountain' (stairway to the prayer room/stage area), spied out the high walled 'city' (Sanctuary), saw the 'giants' of the land (grownups), entered a 'garden' (my office) and found these grapes. We 'secretly' carried them back to the 'camp' and proceeded to 'share' each grape. Some of them 'popped'.
We need nourishment after all of the excitement, so we had real grapes, juice and goldfish to finish off the class. What a blast!
Oh and to begin with we made spyglasses out of cardboard rolls from Christmas wrapping. Simple but they loved it!
Hi Debra,
ReplyDeleteI happened to chance upon your blog and found it very interesting!
We have recently launched a science app that uses augmented reality to enhance classroom teaching. The app has 3D models for kindergarten to grade 12. I thought you might want to check it out and may be review it on your blog, if possible.
It is a paid app(with a few models free) but in case you are interested in trying it out I will be happy to provide you with a free copy.
The link to the app is:

You can also search for the app on the app store as 'Augmenter'.
Do let me know if you would be interested. I am really Looking forward to your response.
