Taking a much needed break from an overdose of model drawings, they so welcomed a game I played with them for today.

2018 – P1 Preparation (k2 English)
Today’s lesson was on a colouring craft with writing. I upped the challenge by getting her to give me more sentences when crafting a story. Colorful artwork right? Exactly the effect I wanted!

2018 – Crayons Remake! (P6 science) – man & environment, materials
This was a popular request among my p5 and p6. My p6 girls asked me if I could do the crayons activity I did with my p5 girls. Sure, why not! It’s still a lesson, anyway. 🙂 Excited girls choosing ‘candies’ again. Different age group but same expression. Lovely swirls of melted goodness. This topic… Continue reading 2018 – Crayons Remake!
