Piggy bank pig!

We started with our piggy bank pigs by painting the bottles and legs. I can't wait to see the end result and the children are just as excited as I am.

I loved the communication throughout the whole process.

Every week we mix two colours together to see what colour it will make.

This week it was pink and yellow and the students were so excited when they saw that it turned orange.

We all love minions!

Hi parents,

This week, we really enjoyed making minion faces. We used collage paper to cover up a paper plate and then placed the minion's eyes and mouth in the correct places. By doing this, the kids were working on their spatial awareness as well as their motor skills.

Newspaper Shark craft!

This newspaper shark craft for kids is amazingly simple to make and is great for kids of all ages. We added the recycled element by using newspaper to make our sharks. I love the added texture the newspaper brings to the craft.

We started by cutting out our shark face shapes from our newspaper. The fun part about this craft is how everyone creates a personalized shark by how they cut out their face. You can make it skinny or wide, short or tall, however you choose.

We then cut out a shark mouth and teeth from our black and white card stock paper and glued them onto our shark faces, together with some eyes.

Finally, it was time to put our sharks into the sea.
The children were really excited about the craft.

The end result!

Angry Birds!

We had a great first cartoon character craft ECA. As our first craft, we decided to make 'angry birds'! The kids loved watching the cartoon and they needed very little guidance during the craft project. Here is what we did:

1.We painted a paper plate to match our angry bird.
2.We added on googly eyes and matching eyebrows to make them look angry.
3. We added the other facial features.
4.Finally, we added the chin.

By doing the above, the kids learnt how to control their movements smoothly and concisely. They also became more aware of face part, which goes in line with our current EY topic 'ourselves'.

Great job everyone! Have a look at the kids hard at work.

Jellyfish!

I had a lovely time with the children this year and we enjoyed the last ECA together. We finished our Jellyfish craft with a bang. 

 They were a great bunch and full of energy. They made me laugh every Monday and I will miss my reception students next year. I wish them all the best for year one.
