With our Hawaiian themed BBQ this month we have been getting
the children involved by getting them to create decorations by cutting,
sticking and exploring textures with different media. Children have created
pineapples, coconuts and other fruits.
Children have been getting messy by using their hands to create palm
trees and using stamps to create topical fish.
In the garden we have been exploring Hawaiian music by
dancing along to the tune of the music and dressing up in lei’s. We have been
using the wood and metal sensory baskets to create different sound effects.
Children learnt the hula dance, and enjoyed dancing with their peers.
We have been experimenting with colour so children have been
learning about the colours they can see by creating colourful flower pictures
out of tissue paper. Children have been matching up the colours they can see by
learning the pattern game.
Children have tasted and felt Hawaiian fruit, they loved the
papayas, wanting more and more!
