Marvellous masterpieces

Having spent a week collecting various types of bottle tops, sticks, stones and leaves, Lauren and Ness were ready to deliver a teacher training session to the Early Childhood Development for Shivonn and her student teachers at NVI.

We decided to do a transient art session using these objects, with the aim that they can source them independently without having to purchase anything. We suggested that they create pictures with the materials and also gave them other ideas for how to use the objects - to help with letter/number formation, to consolidate sound knowledge in phonics, for symmetry or sequencing patterns in maths etc.

Never has so much fun been had using such a random selection of objects. We were so impressed with their works of art (see pics below). They were so engrossed that they barely noticed us leaving!
