Spring In-reach: Flowers

The focus this month for our In-reach session was 'Flowers!'
With Spring finally arriving we thought it would be nice to have an up-close look at flowers.

The children had the opportunity to study a number of different flowers from Roses to Carnations. The used lit lenses to provide greater magnification and were encouraged to use their senses of touch and smell. Some children even 'disassembled' some flowers and used their petals for their collage.

All of the children were asked to make a button collage. This was an interesting medium which would provide tactile as well as visual stimulation.

 

The children worked well on their pictures and helped each other.

 

All the children from Year 4 to pre-school were really focused on the art activity!

 

 

Thank you to all of this months participants, we had a productive afternoon with plenty of fun and chat, and the Oasis has a new mural!
