Exploring the beach through arts and crafts
Our new learning focus within the Kakano room is based on pepes interest in exploring different sensory experiences. Due to summer, we thought we would incorporate a beach theme into one of our art experiences. Pepe were able to sense the beach through, touch, sight and listening. Over three days pepe were really involved in this experience and revisited it a few times creating some wonderful pieces of art. As they were exploring the colours they were able to hear the waves crashing on the beach in the background as well have a visual of images and a video of waves moving on the ipad.
Through this experience pepe are developing fine motor skills as they paint with brushes and sprinkle sand on their art work. They are also making connections to people, places and things as they use their senses to make sense of what they are exploring.
