How can people travel from place to place on the island?
The children all wanted a moon to be on the island. They all decided that it should be a "circle" shape. There will be a full moon on the island.
A few friends added to the discussion, as to what the moon should look like. Alina: "the moon is white." Aidan: "We have to put a little bit of blue on it, because of the blue moon." Helen: "We need to put a lot of glitter on it, so that everyone can see it from far away." Evie: "It needs circles so that the martians can jump out of it." It is all about the process.
We used 2 different techniques creating our stars. Some friends blew bubbles in a bowl (after helping to make the bubble solution/mixture) using a straw, then laid the star on top of the bubbles that they created in the bowl. Other friends chose to use the straw to blow the paint around on top of their star and then sprinkle glitter on top of the star when they were finished. We learned that some colors worked better than others (red worked well, but yellow not so much with the first technique. A few friends thought that their starts needed more color, so they used crayons to continue to decorate their star. |
