In our class discussion today we talked about the rise of little toys appearing in the classroom. Things that create a great distraction, can easily disappear and cause arguments. Just a reminder that it is school policy that toys remain at home - including stuffies, pop its, dolls etc. Thank you for your help keeping things at home.
After reading Rechenka's Eggs by Patricia Polacco we created our own eggs painted in the Ukrainian style. We created a design and then used watercolour paint and salt. The salt was added while the paper was still wet and it should have pushed the pigment of the paint away and left a lighter spot. It would appear we did not use enough salt, not the right salt or not enough water as our effect was not as dramatic as I would have liked but we are still pretty happy with our pysanky egg.
Little engineers were reminded again today to be collecting boxes, toilet rolls, yogurt containers for science next week.
