I’m determined to add more art into this year, both theoretical and practical art, so we decided to start the month with getting out some paints and stuff, just to see where we are at. I wasn’t very organised, nor did we (Tammy and me) try to guide them particularly but it will be good to look back at the end of the year and see what changes. We’ve arranged to do a monthly meeting for art, and i hope to do more through the year as well. I’ve got more photos to take of what they painted, but i’ll add them later. We had a nice morning 🙂
Random Maddy project…
What? This old thing… oh just something i picked up. I think its made of pyjama trouser.. terribly un-pc these days of course…
Amelie sporting “the Abbie”
Another random Maddy project!
Oil pastel drawing. (Might work on the technique there!)
Maddy’s dolphin – she was playing with some foam dolphin shapes and sea shapes today, this is a pretty perfect representation of their shapes.
Sums up life here rather well somehow…
“Sum” maths… (we won’t dwell on what has been forgotten!)
And especially for Debbie… this is how creative my children are with wood 😉
Back later 🙂
sounds great! sometimes we shoud join in – espec when we stop nursery. Have looked at the local eo schedule as well, and will gradually dip toes in – well chris will – as I’m sure SB will love the ice skating.
can you read my comments now? you must have thought I had forsaken you!!
Giggle… yes, here they are. All safe and sound!
Feel free to join 🙂
we had a great time-thank you!!
It is a HOUSE! Surely you can see that?
(It is also some random blocks of wood i found in the cupboard, i can tell you no more!)
They are a set of books you can get from Ichthus Resources – that one is the area, perimeter and volume one and worth every penny. It is called From here to There – the alphabet one is also good but i’m not so sure about the others, i have them but they requirem ore input from a “teacher” as it were.
ooh and ahh. Lovely wood. What is it 😛
Merry, where do you get your Cuisenaire print outs?
Amelie looks far too much like Kezia in that picture! It’s a bit scary!
Have you got Sandra’s email address for Icthus Resources Merry? I did have it but have lost it. I have the ABC book but would like to get the area, perimeter and volume. Emma loves messing with the Rods 🙂
We must get her, Amelie and SB together at Melrose Stella. The Terrible Triplets Mark 2!
Love Ammi with the sprout, btw 🙂
