We started by getting: one plastic cup, a pencil with a rubber on the end, a square orange piece of card, one straw, a blue piece of card, a pin, one tiny nail, one plate and some clay. First put your plastic cup upside down. Then get some scissors and make it to one blade. Make a hole on the top of your cup and put the pencil with the rubber on in the hole.
With the orange piece of card put N for North, E for East, S for South and finally W for West. Put the pencil through the hole you made with the scissors. You have also got to put a hole in the orange piece of card and slide the orange piece of card down the pencil. With the little nail poke the sharp bit into the middle of the rubber on the top of the pencil. When the nail is standing there measure the straw to see where the middle is. Mark where the middle is and make a hole with the pin where the middle is. With the blue piece of card draw two slightly big arrows and cut them out. Cellotape the arrows on the straw and put the little nail in the hole you made in the straw. Get the plate and put the hole thing in the middle of the plate. Last of all get the clay and roll it in your hands so it is like a wiggly worm and sticks to the plate. Then you have a interesting wind vane!
