Yesterdays walking trip to Volta Park!Cate, Bea, and Remy sketched "maps" representing our walking path from school to the park.
Recalling our favorite moments from the day: Cape: playing paw patrol with my friends Saul: playing with Daniel hide and seek Lucas: playing the game where I was trying to stay on the black stones or on the track Bea: swinging on the swings Wilder: swing with Hugh on the swings Remy: swinging with Cate Frannie: swinging on the swings Daniel: collecting rocks with Lukey Michael: climbing on the monkey bar Jade: (no comment) Hugh: swinging and on the spinny thing with Wilder Luke: swinging with nobody Cate: drawing a unicorn and a map Finlay: swinging Book Making and Binding TechniquesIf you were present during our Morning Meeting on Monday, you may remember that we discussed introducing a new technique for creating your own book or notebook. Using a three hole pamphlet stitch, children began creating their own books this week. Has anyone made their own book before? If you did make your own book (or notebook), what would you use it for? Notes - Saul Like your notebook. - Finlay (referring to the teachers notebooks) Drawing. Drawing shoes. - Remy A journal. - Hugh Something you do homework in. - Bea For pictures. - Bea (photographs or drawings) One of the first to attempt the pamphlet stitch sewing technique, Hugh then demonstrated the steps he took in order to successfully make his book. I collected paper and that’s the cover. The cover is blue and the pages are white. All books that you normally read with only words have white pages. And this is a book (his notebook) to put pictures in or words so you need white pages. - Hugh You take a big piece of paper and fold it into a book. - Remy And I put a needle in the center. - Hugh Throughout this process, it was evident that many of our collaborative "Rainey Room Storybook" ideas were then reflected in the work that went into the creation of individual children's personal books. Ghosts! Book by Daniel "The Book of Ghosts" There's a mean ghost. All three mean ghosts. Those little dots are sticks floating in the sky. They're messing up St. Johns. Book by Cate "The Terrifying Unicorn Mess Up Ghost" (created at home with her mom, Melissa) And then the terrible ghosts came and messed up St. Johns. Book by Jade "Dragons and Ghosts" That's a dragon. A mean dragon. Book by Finlay "The Book of Monsters" Illustrations in Finlay's story Supporting our storybook work moving forward, this week we have also been exploring mazes and have begun to create representations of these ideas in various form.Maze work by Finlay and Daniel Maze work by Lucas Isn't it exciting to see so many original ideas being brought to life using an abundance of materials in beautiful forms?!
