Unit of Decoration -wrap up

We baked gluten free cookies, then decorated them with special icing and sprinkles.






It was February, so we talked about friendships, caring and love. We decorated hearts with special messages and love notes for friends and family.







We tried out different methods of making masks. These ones, we used loose parts. We experimented with different pieces to be used for facial features. After trying out different ways our mask/face could look, we glued the loose parts down.







Our school is beautifully painted to look like our surrounding forest. We headed outside to spot some key paintings that are on our building. Trees, stumps, animals and moss were found.






We created our own Creative Minds out of shoe boxes. We chose colours that we saw on the building, like brown, green and blue. 






The children were very pleased with the final result. They put school furniture inside and used the boxes for imaginative play for a few days before taking them home.

I said, I'm looking at Saige's shoes. Saige would you mind to stand up here and show us your shoes? She said yes, and then came to stand next to me. Raise your hand if you have a way to describe Saige's shoes. Some children said running shoes or pink shoes or fast shoes. I asked Saige what term she would like to use for her shoes. She said she'd like to call them pink shoes. I asked her if she would mind if we sang about her shoes. She smiled and agreed. I wrote her name on the big piece of paper and drew her shoes. We found two types of pink in the box and most children agreed the light pink was most like the her shoes. She helped pick the c
