Step 1:

Take a sheet of black construction paper and draw two circles for the brim of the hat. The diameter of the inner circle has to be suitable for your head. So draw it accordingly.

Step 2:

Now cut out along the outer circle.

Step 3:

Next would be to cut out the inner circle. We will call the small piece as Piece A and the ring like piece as Piece B. Keep the pieces aside – we will be using them a little later.

Step 4:

Now take a rectangular sheet of black construction/chart paper and roll it like a partial cone. Only that this cone would have an opening at the top. The circumference of the bottom part has to match the inner diameter of  Piece B. Use glue to secure the structure.

Step 5:

Take Piece A and cut along the edges.

Step 6:

Fold these strips downward.

Step 7:

Insert this piece at the top of the conical structure we made in Step 4 and glue it.

Step 8:

Take a rectangular piece of yellow construction paper and cut it out like a buckle.

Step 9:

Fold a rectangular sheet of white paper like a strip. Make two-to three folds to get the strip. The width of the strip should be suitable for inserting in the buckle made.

Step 10:

Insert the strip in the buckle.

Step 11:

Glue this strip as shown.

Step 11:

Now attach the brim. The procedure of attaching would be similar to how we closed the opening at the top of the hat. You can alternatively apply white adhesive to the brim and attach it too.

You have a pilgrim hat for thanksgiving.

PAPER PILGRIM BONNET

We need the paper bonnets to play out scenes from the first Thanksgiving. You can do the cutting,  the gluing and tying. It´s easy!

This is a bonnet template and you can use it as a guide on a piece of heavy-stock paper.

 Click on this image and print the template.

Use hole punch to make a hole on each side, 1/2 inch beneath fold line and 1/2 inch from edge. Mark spots 5 1/2 inches from each bottom edge, then make a 3-inch vertical cut line from each point.

Fold across dotted line to make cuff; thread ribbon through each hole. Fold bottom corners inward to create back of bonnet, above, and secure with glue dots; fold down back flap and secure with glue dots.

YEAR 5   THE SMARTEST GIANT IN TOWN 
  We are beginning to learn how to work in groups in order to do Problem Based Learning projects. This project is about a book called "The Smartest Giant in Town".

In one of the activities they had to order the story so that it would make sense.

They also had to investigate wich words of the story couldn´t understand and write them in a tie to explain later to the rest of the class.

Another activity was to write the name of some clothes.

Each group had a chance to do all the activities of this project, including drawing and colouring the giant in the poster. What a wonderful job they have done!

Estamos aprendiendo como trabajar en equipo con PBL (Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas). Hemos trabajado un cuento llamado "The Smartest Giant in town" para conseguir este magnífico poster el alumnado ha tenido que investigar vocabulario desconocido, aprenderse la canción del cuento, familiarizarse con las prendas de vestir que utiliza el gigante, ordenar la estructura del cuento, responder a unas preguntas, etc... y finalmente el resultado ha sido maravilloso.
