facebook.comThe excitment was nearly too much this morning in the Excel theatre for our Christmas trip. It was a lot of fun. I hope all the children enjoyed it. Christmas has officially started!
The unplanned activities are always the best. Styrofoam balls from the art box made snow when we cut them open and rubbed them together.
We got this box from the supermarket at Halloween. It has been a very popular open ended resource ever since. This morning it got a makeover and became a slide...
The photo doesn't do this creation justice. It took 45 minutes of trying different ideas and tweaking until it was perfect. It really isn't about the end product but the process of creating.
Beautiful creations T made today with loose parts and play dough. Loose parts are anything that doesn't have a distinct purpose. They provide endless scope for imagination and creativity.
Engrossed....These photos were all taken within about 5 minutes this morning. Everyone busy, everybody learning.
We headed out to the woods first thing this morning and brought some notepads and pencils. Signs were made and hung on the trees to warn about a monster who was seen in the woods...and when we came in we had lunch together which was like a "picnic" because we don't usually all eat together.
Wednesday's play....
We were talking about toys in playschool today. We were cutting pictures out of catalogs and there was great excitement with talk of Santa and Christmas but sometimes it is the simplest objects that give the most play value...eg. The roll of paper towel that was this dolly's dress.
We made pictures with cinnamon sticks, star anise, dried orange slices and other lovely smelling things today
A lovely wet morning..perfect for playing in the rain. The boys used a bucket, a pipe and a flower pot to make coffee! So many individuals, each with their own ideas...trying to get their ideas heard and accepted. Some ideas are used some discarded. Feelings get hurt and then it's forgotten. They may be 3 or 4 years old but it sounds very like any workplace....
The interest in building continued today with lots of children choosing to build marshmallow structures. There was a lot of self control involved..
