Decorating our bodies!

Continuous assessment provides insights into students’ understanding, knowledge, skills and attitudes. A chart was made where we recorded everyone’s knowledge on how people use colour.  These are the answers that the children came up with: 

* People use colour to draw, paint, mix, decorate their bodies and rooms, describe someone’s interests, feelings, likes and dislikes.

From this list, the children showed an interest in decorating their bodies using colour. This shows a connection to the central idea “Colour is all around us and makes a difference in our lives”

Their faces lit up as we were decorating them. While looking at their bodies in the mirror, the children’s smiles grew bigger and bigger. As you see in the picture, our activity continued into a dramatic play, where their body decoration transformed them into their character.
