Reptile fun!

We were so lucky to have a visit from Ray's Reptiles last week! We learned about so many amazing animals like the Darth Vader the scorpion and Mr. PeePee the cane toad. And weren't the children delighted when Mr. PeePee lived up to his name!

A very very big (and slimy) thank you to Euan's mum for celebrating his birthday by sharing such a lovely experience with the whole class. We had the best time and got to meet the coolest animals!

Our introduction to the rules

A scorpion!

The birthday boy with a caiman

We learned the difference between a turtle and a tortoise

Shared art

Sometimes we present art as a shared activity rather than an individual project we can take home. This helps the children work on socialization and cooperative play. It encourages language and self esteem. And just look at the beautiful results!

Art from parts!

Amazing artwork from our friends. Loose parts inspired by nature, placed in a frame with purpose and care, then captured by the lens....Belissima!!

The frame is filled with colour



Some friends prefer the monochrome look



Nature captured by three year olds. No gallery could beat it!
