The past fortnight has seen the before/ after school care room abuzz with visuals

of 'Ancient Egypt' and all things green in celebration of St Patrick's Day.

Last week with the theme being 'Ancient Egypt', (as chosen by the students),

much excitement was observed with the creation of our weekly mural. Initially

the students made quite ghostly looking mummies by attaching varying lengths

of icy-pole sticks together, wrapping the stick figures with fine white strips of

material and then adorning their creation with a scary face. The children

enthusiastically also made lotus buds using varying lengths of coloured paper

and a pipe cleaner, and Egyptian necklaces using a partial paper plate, textas/

crayons and wool. Serpent crowns were popular, as were the camels made using

egg cartons and pipe cleaners. Using their own vivid imaginations the children

created fantastic tombs, pharaohs and golden pyramids. Monday morning the

students relished the pancakes which were made by Margaret, with the ordering

and distribution of these delights being carried out by two of the older students.

Friday afternoon we had the usual cooking activity. This week we popped corn

and made a delicious caramel sauce to coat it in, DIVINE!

A short week this week with all things green in honour of St Patrick's Day.

Tuesday began the activities where the children enthusiastically made shamrock

out of paper plates, green paint and green strips of paper. There was a real buzz

in the air as students competed to see who could complete the St Pat's word

search the quickest. Other activities included constructing pots of gold, woven

table mats and welcoming Leprechaun door hangers. The colouring of cheeky

Leprechauns and the drawing of rainbows was eagerly participated in by many

of the students. The Irish mural displayed all the colours of the rainbow, a

delight to behold. The Friday afternoon cooking segment of our week saw the

making of caramel treats. The recipe for this week’s sweet can be found on the

back of rice bubbles packets.

Enjoy the weekend!

Looking forward to next week,

Margaret, Georgia and Nusrat.
