Humpty Dumpty had a great fall... and survived!

Humpty Dumpty is a very famous character at CAC, and every year we read books about him, or hear stories... Alejandro even did a play last year about Humpty Dumpty.

Humpty Dumpty story is based on a poem:

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

And all the King´s horses

And all the King´s men

Could not put Humpty Dumpty

together again

By the way, I forgot to say that Humpty Dumpty is... an EGG !! With arms, and legs, and eyes, and ears, and mouth...

So this weekend Ms Elder gave us some very strange homework. It was neither writing nor reading, not even maths... We had to design a costume for Humpty Dumpty !! And that costume should protect him from a big fall !! On Sunday we should bring our Humpty Dumptys with his costume to class and we would make a competition by throwing them from the Middle School second floor !! Which one will survive such a fall?

Mum and me spent a lot of time thinking about it. We though about parachutes, bottles of water, boxes with socks... but finally we came out with a very funny design, as you can see below, made up of plasticine. It took lots of work, but it was so much fun...

Today Daddy helped me bringing Humpty Dumpty to school. All the other kids had different designs. Some had put him within toilet paper, or wrapped with plastic, or put in a box... And the time of competition came. We went to the Middle School building and we threw them from the second floor. And mine survived !! I was so happy... Some other Humpty Dumptys also survived, and some other crashed.

I´m looking forward to see the videos...
