Next Unit of Inquiry is...


Our next unit of inquiry is..
MINI-BEASTS!!!

End of our 4th Unit of inquiry: Clothes


We ended it up in beauty, haven't we?

The Class Council




During the class council (taken place on Friday mornings) we discuss few things written on the class diary (throughout the week)and/or any other important topic. This time, still based on this unit of inquiry "Clothes", the children and teacher wondered about school uniforms and about a dress code. We have invited, Erin and Tracy, from Kiga 2, to come over to show and tell us about their school uniforms' experience. Very interesting...

A lot of learning took place...







The children learned: how to sew; that fabrics have sometimes patterns (we saw that in Maths); during Science, the kids have seen which materials keep us the warmest.



Where do our clothes come from? Show and Tell








"Where do our clothes come from?"


We've asked the children and parents to work on this poster at home, to be presented together, or not, at school. The result was great! A lot of effort, as always...

Trashion - Kiga's Fashion Show

Here, we may find pictures from Trashion the kindergartener's fashion show.

Preparing for the Fashion show - continues












Creative, eh? Actually, very impressive...



Preparing for the Fashion show








We have decided to make a fashion show with recycled material clothes. For this, we followed all the steps about making clothes: the sketches, choosing the material and, of course, inviting the parents for a "little hand". Here are some pictures of the Kiga 1 very creative parents... Again, thank you all, for sharing your time!!
