Busy Times with the MacWandsons'

Hi Everyone,
 
The MacWandsons’ have been busy. Lately we have been exploring different types of art. We started with self-portraits and learnt all about the face. We used mirrors to help us find just the right spots to put our eyes, nose and mouth along with choosing the right colour for the painting. Students used a variety of brushes. The large brush was used for the big shape of the face while the smaller brushes were used for details. We think they look fabulous!
 

The next art exploration we embarked on was sculptures.  Students were given the task to create a sculpture out of rocks, Plasticine, buttons, and pipe cleaners. Our students have been very creative, they have made cars, animals, snowman, and even a cup of hot chocolate was designed.

 

We also had another visit from baby Maya. Students had the chance to see how she is developing. They were thrilled to find out that she now looks when her name is called. We also had the chance to talk about the 5 senses. Students were able to tell us what they were and why they are important. They found out that baby’s put a lot of things in their mouth in order to discover the world around them. The student’s found it funny to think that they used to do this too.
