Photo Challenge: Outing to the Aquarium

This week we had the opportunity to go to the aquarium, after discussing the sub-theme of the photography project – ‘Taking Photos Under Water’. Although we could not swim with the fish and sharks and take photos using action cameras, we took photos of the different sea creatures we saw from behind the glass of the aquarium:

Corona Virus Challenge #week2

Welcome to this week’s challenge, where each child will have the opporunity to express creatvity digitally.

This week each child is challenged to create a book using of the two methods we have already introduced in class:

Mystorybook.com or Story Jumper

The theme to be focused on is obviously, the virus, however the book does not have to be story that the child invents. It can be a dairy of what you do each day, a non-fiction fact book about the virus or any form you think of … the more creative the better.

since the children are still learning to read and write, I recommend you let the children to the graphics first, and then they will explain or literate and you write a caption the the pages.

Remember, it is important that your role as an adult is not to tell the child what to do, but to facilitate and suggest how the child goes about creating this masterpiece. When you are finally finished from doing your book, send me photos or videos of the children doing the book (the process) and a link to the the finished product. I will look through them and post them by the end of the week!

Corona Virus Challenge #getcreative

After finishing from the previous task I have provided about introducing and explaining(in a child-friendly manner) the current situation and why we are not going to school, I have another task for the children to engage in during this week without school. While it is important to stay safe by staying indoors, it is not safe to do nothing and watch videos or play games on tablets.

Therefore, I invite you as parents to implement an activity with your child to create something related to Corona virus using recycled material. It is important that your role as an adult is not to tell the child what to do, but to facilitate and suggest how the child goes about creating this masterpiece. When you are finally finished from doing your artwork, send me photos or videos of the children doing the craft (the process) and the finished product. I will look through them and post them by the end of the week!

So, get your plastic bottles and tape ready …. and start crafting!

COVID-19 Awareness for Kids

Dear Parents/Gardiuans,

Due to the current global situation, most of what we talk about it what is happening. Although it is quite a difficult situation for children to understand we should not leave them in the darkness about the situation, but we should enlighten them through child-friendly ways, such as this Document below. Fell free to print it or show it digitally to your children and help them understand the current situation, through such a child-friendly format.

I f you would like, when the child fills in the pages, send me the photos or scans and I will make a college with all the children’s works.
