Pre-KG The Shapes Fairy and the Scarecrow project

Pre-KG 

The Shapes Fairy and the Scarecrow project 

For meaningful learning at DSKi we try to connect our learning to the outside world and wider community. 

So the classroom teacher Anita U.Mönch, who has been a longtime member of the NPO Peace and Nature (P&N), an organisation that leads and supports environmental projects, made the contact between the school and P&N some years ago and our Kindergarten children have been enjoying various excursions and hands on activities at their farm in the past.

In August P&N offered an international scarecrow contest, in which we could not participate due to a tight schedule, but the Pre-KG children decided to put their knowledge to good use and make their own scarecrow with colourful shapes based on the little fairy design by Eimi.

The project started with looking at the design, then their teacher cut the relevant shapes out of recycled cardboard. The Pre-KG children had a lot of fun painting them using big shaving brushes. They displayed a lot of patience and skill!  

On a different day the children assembled all the shapes and were very proud of the result !

A big thumbs up to such great team work and a very charming scarecrow which we will display at the school for a while before donating it to Peace and Nature in the future !
