Cardboard Challenge with Grade 3 Buddies Preschool C students and their Grade 3 buddies have worked cooperatively for the last 3 weeks. They have met every Tuesday afternoon. At first, they watched the video of 'Global Cardboard Challenge' to be able to understand the whole concept and get inspired. Process: 1. They discussed and made plans on what they want to make out of the cardboard. 2. They drew some pictures to show what it looks like. 3. They cut and used tape and glue to put them together. 4. They added some recycled materials to make it work. 5. They painted and dried them well. 6. They presented to the whole group and explained what they made. Through this activity, they developed their creativity and imagination, teamwork and determination. The Grade 3 buddies had a chance to lead and guide the thinking of the preschool students. This linked to our line of inquiry: Imaginative uses of everyday materials. What starts with the letter Pp? Last week we explored the letter P through foods and crafts. We dyed pasta using different food colouring. We made our own pineapple pops and we cooked pancakes. We also made our purple play dough. Pasta Structures We used pasta and play dough to build and create a new structure. Look at our creations! SEL and Mindfulness Mindful activity for the children is one of the most important parts of our day. This involves being present in the moment and paying attention to their bodies. Also, taking deep breaths and calming down. We use the song 'Breathing in, Breathing out' by Betsy Rose. To tune into our bodies we also do some movements such as dance, movement and yoga.
