Tune into TILII TV and watch
the intro to TILII’s virtual
world cruise
https://arcuk.org.uk/northernireland/ld-week-2021
This has been a difficult year for many reasons. Because of COVID 19,
we were unable to see our friends and families and travel was limited.
It was also a year which shone a light on how sometimes, people are
treated differently and unfairly, because of how they look or how they
live.
So, for Learning Disability Week 2021, TILII are excited to invite you all
on a virtual cruise.
Watch our Virtual World Cruise Introduction online then work through
your activity workbook. It covers HMS TILII’s journey and explores
each destination we visit. TILII wants to discover and learn more
about amazing places and wonderful people from across the world.
We will be having fun while learning about diversity, equality and
inclusion.
• Diversity means a mix of different kinds of people. For example,
people who have a disability and people who don’t. People of
different races. Young and old.
• Equality is making sure people are treated fairly and given the
same chances to live their best lives.
• Inclusion means making sure no one is left out, so everyone is
included.

Statue of Liberty Crown
Using Paper Plates
Materials
Paper plates (at least 4)
Scissors
Tape
Paint and paintbrushes
Glitter glue (optional)
Directions for making the crown:
1. Cut off the bottom of a paper plate. (Save this little piece to
make the spikes on the crown later. You can get two spikes
from each little piece, you will need about 4 in total.)
2. Cut out the centre of the plate. Do this for all your paper
plates.
3. Paint the crown and spike pieces, you can add some glitter
glue to give the crown a sparkle. Set aside to dry.
4. Once they are dry, it is time to make the spikes. The Statue
of Liberty’s crown has 7 spikes (representing the 7 continents
and 7 seas). Cut out 7 long triangles from your small scraps to
make the spikes. You can either glue or tape them to your
crown.
27Dream Catcher The dreamcatcher is used to protect people from nightmares and bad dreams. ... Native American cultures believe that both good and bad dreams fill the air at night. The dreamcatcher acts like a spider's web by trapping the bad dreams while allowing the good ones to come through. How to Make 1.Fold one of the small coloured paper plates in half and cut out the middle by cutting out a semi- circle along the dimpled edge of the plate. 2.Unfold the plate to reveal a neat circle cut out of the middle of the plate. 3.Punch 3 holes in a row at the bottom of the circle. This is where the feathers and beads will hang. 4.Punch a hole at the top of the circle in line with the 3 punched holes below. This is where the dream catcher will be hung. 5.Cut 3 pieces of coloured wool 15cm long. Tie each piece to each of the 3 punched holes at the bottom of the circle. Tie with a double knot and trim off the excess wool from the knot. 6.Hole punch a few more holes around the rim of the circle. 7.Tie a piece of different coloured wool roughly 12cm long to the top centre circle where the dream catch will be hung. Tie the wool into a loop and secure with a double knot. Trim off the excess wool from the knot. 8.Using the same coloured wool as the 3 long strips at the bottom of the dream catcher, thread the wool through the holes around the edge of the dream catcher. Thread the wool sideways, upwards and diagonal to make a web-like appearance. Don't forget to still thread the wool through the bottom three holes and the hole at the top used for hanging the dream catcher so that the wool is spread evenly around the circle. 9.Once you have finished making your web, cut the wool leaving enough at the end to tie it to a secure piece of wool in the web at the back of the dream catcher. Try to tie it behind the circle edge so that it can't be seen. Tie with a double knot. 10.To stop the knot from untying, place a small amount of super tacky glue onto the knot and leave to dry. 11.Thread a plastic needle through the end of one of the long pieces of at the bottom of the dream catcher and thread through 4 wooden painted flower beads. Repeat with the other 2 pieces of wool. 12.Place a blob of super tacky glue into the hole of the bead at the bottom. Put 2 speckled feathers back to back inside the bottom bead attached to the glue. Leave the glue to dry for the feathers and beads to stay in place. Repeat with the other 2 pieces of wool. Leave to dry. 13.Decorate around the edge of the dream catcher with Gold & Silver Glitter Star stickers and Self-Adhesive Acrylic Stars. Top Tip To prevent the wool from fraying, use plastic needles to thread the wool through the punched holes. 28
