Rainforest Diorama

 

Children worked in small groups to create a rainforest diorama. Children thought about the rainforest layers, such as the canopy and forest floor, and included various plants and animals in their dioramas. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm and the unique ideas they brought to life in their projects.

Terrarium

 

The children will be keeping a close eye on their terrariums. 

The children collected various materials, including stones, soil and plants, from our eco garden. They worked together to design and build their terrariums. They worked well together, sharing ideas and responsibilities throughout the process.

Rainforest Pastel Art

 

Children created a vibrant rainforest scene using pastels. They used a range of pastel techniques to bring their scenes to life, experimenting with colour blending and shading to capture the beauty of nature.

Plant Printing

We embarked on this creative journey to explore the beauty of nature and its artistic potential;it was a wonderful but noisy experience. 

In our first attempt, we used leaves to create prints on material and paper. Although the results did not turn out as we had hoped, the process sparked great conversations.

For our second attempt, we decided to use flowers, which resulted in the beautiful prints (shown above). The vibrant colours and intricate patterns truly captured the essence of the flowers, and the children were thrilled with the outcome.
