Kia Ora everyone,
I hope everyone is having an awesome holidays so far and spending time in the beautiful sunshine when we are lucky enough to have it!
With the deadline for The Online Craft Market Orders drawing near I wanted to show you all the hard work that Room 16 put into making their 2021 calendars. The final versions of the children's pictures actually ended up being the fifth prototype of calendar we made- we spent so much time evaluating it and learning about portraits!
Firstly, we split the class into three teams. Team Laminators (who worked with Miss Rayner), Team Magnets (who worked with Mrs Penny or Mrs Lisa) and Team Labels (who worked independently).
Their first task was to sit in their groups and figure out how they were going to efficiently manage their task. I was particularly impressed with the Magnet Team who decided what length of magnet they were going to be cutting to fit onto the calendar by themselves.
Here are some pictures of the children working on their project. They have all worked so hard and I'm very proud of them for all the effort they have put in!
This project was part of our unit on financial literacy to help the children understand different ways of looking at money. It was also partly a fundraiser for the older children to go to camp and partly a way of brightening up our classroom walls for a bit with all the crazy ideas we had!
If you haven't bought your calendar yet for yourself or as a gift, and you would like to, hop on over to KINDO and make an account. It's just like doing your normal shopping online (and your child might like to help you press the buttons too!). Here is the link: https://shop.tgcl.co.nz/shop/
The cost of each calendar is $4. The children decided on this too (the original price they came up with was a million dollars so you've really got yourself a bargain with $4!).
