Today we worked on developing both our story line and our costumes.
I am loving the enthusiasm the children are showing towards this project.
Friday is going to be very exciting for the children as they begin to make their costumes.
I love the enthusiasm and the way the children have completely embraced this project, it is rather cute to have a whole class full of new 'people' as these characters are developing! (It has also created a few funny moments as children have been hunting for Lucy, George, Bella ... and I've been wondering who they are looking for!).
There has been a lot of oral language developing too as the children create scenarios and games for their characters to be part of.
It was interesting watching the children learn the difference between simply colouring their mannequin in and creating an outfit that fits on the outside of their 'skin' - I can't wait to see the finished designs on Friday.
Please remember to keep collecting little drink, sauce, soap etc bottles for our next project :) thanks
