Hi ,
It has been really
long time since my last post. I have been so busy lately. I was very fortunate
to be able to attend a 3 days conference in Sydney about the Reggio Emilia . It
was such an amazing inspiring experience. The Conference was run by the head of
The Boulder Journey School which is based in Colorado, USA.
In the next couple
of weeks I will upload more information about the conference and all the
subjects that were discussed..
After that I
got back to work and got all busy celebrating Halloween. I have so many
pictures of many activities that we have enjoyed lately which I cant not wait
to share with you.
Lets start with
all the fun Halloween activities and games.
The Sensory Witch
bag was very popular. In the picture below you will find a list with things you
need to make the sensory bag.
How to make it:
1- Cut out the
felt fabric in a shape of witch's pointy hat.
2- Cut out felt
fabric in a shape of the witch's mouth.
3- Cut out some
wool to make the hair.
4- Pour the hair
gel inside the zip lock bag. It will be great if you can find a Halloween color
like orange or green. I found only red which was still cool as it 's the
color of blood :)
5- Start putting
all the little pieces inside the bag to create the witch's face.( its going to
be very messy but still lots of fun, I enjoyed making it so much)
6- After you
arrange everything. Zip lock the bag and seal it with thick wide sticky tape.
This is our Halloween door. I know
it's a bit blurry because of the reflection. I tried to get the best angel but
these ones are actually the best ones. sorry :(
My children were so excited when
they saw it in the morning when they arrive.
My lovely assistant Hannah made those cute
pumpkins out of the toilet paper rolls. She wrapped the toilet paper roll in
orange crepe paper. She cut out the face features out of black paper and she
sprinkled it with colored glitter.
She also wrapped those little glass jars in colored cellophane,
tie around the top with cute ribbon and put a little tea candle light inside
which we turned on during our rest time. Children really loved it.
In this activity Children will match each treat bag to the right card
with the right number of treats on it. This activity is great to support
number/ counting learning.
Another counting activity which they all
enjoyed was matching the right peg with the right number to the right group of
objects.
I downloaded these templates from this
website. Skeleton Templates
All you need to do is to print the
templates out. cut them out and then laminate them. I put this little card with
the whole skeleton picture as a guide just in case they found it
challenging.
Parents loved this bulletin board. We did
the easy famous spider hand print then we put them together to create this
awesome bulletin board.
This is another game that we all enjoyed
.We created this big spider web using masking tape. If you zoom in you will be
able to see the numbers 10 to 50 written on the web. Children are to aim at the
numbers using bean bag or flat small block and calling out the number that they
aimed at.
