October - Warm and Cool Colours

Colour is one of the most important aspects in design as it creates mood, evokes memories, expresses feelings and even relieves stress. Today we delved deeper into the world of colours by learning the ‘warm and cool’ colours. Class started with a brief discussion on the meaning and the comparison between the two tones. With the knowledge gained, our Bugs were tasked to arrange pencil colours according to the two groups of warm and cool colours.

Next, using oil pastel, the class was instructed to choose their colours and create their own warm and cool colours table.

Learning Outcome: the knowledge of warm and cool colours, Classifying Colours, oil pastel techniques and organizing information in Tables.

October - My Gift Box

There are many ways to nurture creativity in kids. One is definitely to encourage them to ‘make’ instead of 'buy'. Today, our creative journey takes us to creating a pyramid gift box out of just paper. What better way to impress gift giving than the pride that goes into making your own gift box for the small contents of sweets, chocolates or even an eraser....There you go - time fillers to make as many of these to give away or even as decorative pieces

Learning Outcome: Make with care and love; Simplicity in creativity; an effective and creative use of paper

October - Origami : Bookmark

Paper folding or 'Origami' provides both mental and physical stimulus with exercise. Origami helps develop hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills and mental concentration.

Today's activity challenged our Bugs at the cognitive level as they followed instructions, developed new skills and enhanced their creativity by constructing their very own cute Owl Bookmark from paper.

Learning outcome: Exploration of Origami, emotional satisfaction, nurturing creativity and imagination.
