TWO-STEP ARTWORK - DRAWING AND COLLAGING


 

 

The children in our 4-year-old class were provided with multicoloured permanent markers, and blocks of various shapes for tracing. They were encouraged to create either an abstract design or a specific drawing of their choice.

 
When the drawings were complete, glue and tissue were then provided as an additional element to the drawings. The children tore small pieces of tissue and glued diligently. The effect was quite beautiful and a number of children spent a very long while on their creations.


There's no better way to brighten up the Preschool than with children's artwork!


Daniela traced almost every shape available on the table (a challenging task) and then chose to fill the shapes in with coloured tissue...

 










Christy thoroughly enjoyed the process and was very proud of the outcome...








 
Ethan chose to brighten up his rainbow by tearing tissue into small pieces...

 











Jun chose to put shapes side by side each other...

 






Somewhere along the line, Jun's creation became a rocket ship. The flames shooting out the bottom are a magnificent finish...


 


A detailed and happy drawing by Sofie, who spends much time drawing people...

 

 

 
"I found my name!"... 
 
 

 

 

 
Taylor chose to brighten up her art-piece with large squares of tissue...




A colourful finish!...

3 and 4 Year Old Classes – Holiday Time

The preschool 3 and 4 year old morning classes have been busy preparing for the holidays over the past few weeks. Along with many other activities, each child has made a gift for their families. These gifts are now wrapped and ready to be sent home, and we are sure they will be well received! We also showed the children our Preschool Donation Box and spoke about the importance of giving to those who are less fortunate than us. We have decorated a Christmas tree and created two very large snowman (which will be on display at the family potluck!) It was fun to stand back and watch the children strategize and work together as a team. The preschoolers have also been practising the songs they will sing at the family potluck and for the Hugh Boyd Seniors. In the coming week they will be decorating a gingerbread cookie with their big buddy - this always makes for a fun day! Inspirational Paintings     ...

MWF 4 Hour Class When I’m writing a documentation, one of the hardest things for me is to decide what pictures, stories and reflections I’ll share with you. There are so many joyful, meaningful moments and every day’s learning experiences! As I was selecting some of the class’ photos I found myself wondering: if we consider the classroom’s environment, the third teacher, what is mother nature’s role in a child’s learning and development? The exploration of natural environments nurture children’s curiosity and holistic learning as much, or even more, than a classroom. Some of the benefit of connecting children with nature include: supporting creativity and problem solving, increasing physical activity, reducing stress, promoting social emotional development. We see children as innate scientists, artists, builders… full of wonders and curiosity they can nourish and experiment while they are playing in nature.
