Creative Hearts: A Valentine’s and Friendship Week Craft in Grade RRR

The Grade RRRs have been making wall hangings using wooden cut out hearts and various beads. This activity forms part of Valentine’s Day and Friendship Week. They have been using their fine motor skills to thread the beads onto wire and string. The children have had great fun discussing their work with their teacher and Teaching Assistant. The Reggio Emilia inspired approach has been implemented in that the children were able to make their own choices in selecting beads and choosing colours. The natural environment has also come into play in that natural and neutral colours were used to complete the activity.
