Making our own Weather vane

The flamingoes made their own weather indicator by cutting out the shapes of cloud, snowflake, raindrop and  Sun. Then they coloured these shapes. For hanging these cutouts we went to the forest to gather sticks. The flamingoes then painted their sticks in different colours and tied them in the shape of the English alphabet 'x', with the help of the teacher. Next the flamingoes hanged thier cutouts at the four corners of this 'x' shaped stick thus creating their very own weather vane!
