We began learning about Monet today. We talked about how he liked to make his paintings look less detailed looking and make the viewer feel like they were in the actual places he was painting. We were then invited to use acrylic paint to make our own versions of some of Monet’s paintings. Little Lego […]
We continued to extend our understanding of our feathered friends with Sony and Tima. We talked about food they like to eat as well as talking about our favourite types of birds. Arturo helped us turn our cubes into dice. We loved decorating them and then showed our numeracy skills as we counted the designs […]
We learnt about another abstract artist today, Michael Adamson. We used acrylic paint and cardboard to make our pictures today! We also enjoyed playing Uno during school readiness today.

We enjoyed a gross motor game with Amanda. We showed off our star jumps, pretending to be different animals, hopping on one foot, dancing, […]

We loved seeing how varying each picture was and that things didn’t have a specific location. Finally, we created our own version […]
We have started learning about the human body. We looked at X-rays to see what are bones look like! We then chose a part of the body we wanted to trace and made a tracing. We compared it to the images we had seen in the X-rays. We were very busy in the garden today! […]

Gail has continued to engage us in being creative using different loose objects such as stones, sticks, and buttons to create pictures. We also have […]
