Hello and welcome boys and girls!  by now you’ve probably heard the exciting news from your S.R.C Representative about the new community project  we’re about to embark on.  We’re going to be looking at bringing a little joy and happiness in everyone’s lives by introducing this new concept called SPOONVILLE!  Spoonville requires everyone to get involved by purchasing and using a wooden spoon and then decorating it as you please to create a character.  I have lots of different examples for you below.  I also encourage each student to think about and write a word of encouragement to give hope and strength to others during this time, for example, strength, hope, joy, courage on the back of the wooden spoon. Have a look at the examples below enjoy and above all GET CREATING!

Week 8 Father’s Day Video

This weekend is Father’s Day so we thought we’d create something really special and memorable to commemorate the fathers, grandfathers and special person in our lives.

Students were involved in making a trophy for the special man in their lives.  The clip below shows children involved in putting together their trophy creations.  Please have a look, and if you like, you can create one similar for your dad.

The equipment needed for the task are;  two plastic or foam cups, masking tape to tape up both the cups together.  Lots of decorative pieces to decorate your trophy. 

Optional Visual Art Activity

Simple colouring in techniques for Foundation students

Instead of dipping the sponges into the paint squirt blobs of paint directly onto the sponge straight from the tubes. This is great for hand-eye co-ordination and they think about how much paint they need, where they want it and control its flow. For younger children you might prefer to help them squeeze out a suitable amount of paint or let them brush, spoon or syringe it on instead.

After the sponge painting activity you might want to ask questions about what they just created.

  • Can the children name all the different colours?
  • Do the children know of other things the same colour as that tube of paint?
  • Can the children sort the colours in Rainbow order?
  • What’s their favourite colour and why?

Now talk about mixing colors and what new colours that have created!

  • Do the children notice what happens when the colours touch each other and mix together? Do they see changing shades or even new colours being made?
  • Can they name the new colour made?
  • Can they predict what colours are made when putting certain colours together?

Given the freedom to explore it is amazing to see what colours, shapes, and patterns the children will discover for themselves.
