After the egg experiment, it prompted lots of questions about animals that hatch from eggs. Through the book, An Egg is Quiet, we looked at different types of eggs and compared their appearances including size and colour. Students created their own egg through an art project where they used watercolour paints and salt to create a different texture. Once dried, they rubbed off the salt and drew speckles and lines for cracks. Lastly, they outlined the shape of an egg using acrylic paint and glue for a 3-D effect.
In celebration of Earth Day, we read the book, 10 Things I Can Do to Help My World and brainstormed different ideas to help the world be a better place to live for everyone…everyday! Ask me what I can do to help love the Earth. On Friday, our morning Kindergartens went outside with Grade 3 and 6 students to pick up garbage around the school field. In the afternoon, Kindergartens created some artwork with Grade 6 buddies based off Andy Goldworthy’s art. In preparation, we looked at photos of some of the artwork he created using natural materials and watched these videos where we were inspired by his work! Comments are closed.
