The Sunflowers

This week the Sunflowers are in charge of their own destiny by filiming their own iMovie. They are able to choose what they want to film and where and when. We told the children at the start of the week so they new what to expect and that it was really them who made the decisions. They came up with lots of ideas. Film lunch. Film rain play. Film their parents leaving them at school.

The Sunflowers

As part of our IPC theme “Houses and Homes” we go the sunflowers, who are now beading plate experts to make a home using the beads. They had to take a lot of things into account. How many beads to use, size and thickness so that it would stick when ironed. How many windows in each house, doors? A few even decided to make a skyscraper. Then from this pushed themselves even further and started to make a skyscraper landscape view. The sunflowers are really good at challenging themselves and always bounce ideas of each other.
