String Games - Room 14 and 15

Thanks to Mr Lodge and Room 14 for letting us share the video.

String Games with Room 14

This afternoon Room 15 were invited to Room 14 to learn some of the string games that were taught on Monday.

Students from the class had seen how much fun people were having and were trying hard to teach themselves how do make some of the string figures. After a day of persevering ourselves Mr Lodge and his class worked with us to show us the steps of creating some of the different string figures.
