Origami Art!

We have been learning how to make origami in art with our student teacher Miss Rowland. Origami means paper folding in Japanese.

This week we made cups and lanterns.

It takes a lot of patience to fold the paper just right. But it is a lot of fun. After, we all decorate our origami!

Next, we will be making new shapes and trying new types of paper! Can't wait to share our work!

New Beanbags

We are really lucky to get some new beanbags in our space. 

They are for our outdoor area... but while it's pretty miserable out there, we're going to make use of them indoors!

Shjon: "They're really good. Comfortable. I wish all the chairs were beanbags!"

Christina: "They're comfortable. Kind of a little bit hard, but they're also good for relaxing."

Summergrace: "They're comfy, and warm for learning on."

Maddock: "They're kind of comfortable because they're hard."

Spices

We have been learning about spices and where in the world they come from. Today we looked at how spices from different countries/cultures effect the cuisine we eat. 

We put spices on popcorn and then ate it... strangely the most spicy were the popular request. 

That didn't always culminate in a pleasant experience...

Today we looked at turmeric, cinnamon, paprika, Ginger, cardamom  seeds, bay leaf, Rosemary, coriander
