The Creative Arts Kindergarten children are having a great year so far. The lunch pick ups from Corpus Christie, Mutchmor and First Ave are underway. The Bank street construction has definitely been a bit of an obstacle but we have come up with safe and creative ways to get to school. It has also allowed the children to see many machines in action. There have been a few children that have eaten both their school snack and lunch before getting to creative arts - so please remember to put snack and lunch in separate containers. The children love the social aspect of the lunch room. Lots of chatting, laughing, sharing and eating takes place at the tables.
Nature has been strongly represented in our art projects so far this year. What better way to explore the elements of art than by using objects found in our everyday lives. The fairy houses were a big hit. The children were over the moon to see tiny footprints and fairy dust - proof that the beds, hammocks, swings and bathtubs so lovingly created, had been visited by some little winged friends.
In drama, the children were given the opportunity to imagine how they might move if they had wings of their own. We have enjoyed lots of cooperative games, some creative movement and had a lot of fun dramatizing the story "The Enormous Potato".
The year really is off to a magical start!
