All children are artists

Working with paint 


 Painting is a way for children to use their senses, explore colours, express their emotions, explore process and outcomes, and create aesthetically pleasing works. In the Alphas, painting is one of the greatest moments we have in our daily routine!

Colours


COLOURS

The Alphas have been exploring colours and learning 

various songs about it. They love it!

Today we are sharing some of the songs we sing 

 in the classroom with the use of props, flashcards and 

movements to these songs. 

We hope you enjoy it!

Red, red, red, touch your head
Blue, blue, blue, buckle your shoe
Brown, brown, brown
Brown touch the ground
White, white, white, hold you tight.

Black, black, black, touch your back
Purple, purple, draw a circle
Green, green, green,
Dancing in the green
Yellow, yellow, greet your fellow!

Have a look at some of the activities they have been working on in order to further develop their skills:

Fernanda and Isadora using eye droppers to transfer water.


Lucas and Isabella using rubber bands.
