When we were planning our Discovery themes for the term and we realised that New Zealand celebrates Children's Day on Sunday 3rd March we had to celebrate it for Discovery too. After all mums have Mother's Day and dads have Father's Day!
We planned a variety of activities to explore that all of our big 5-year-old school children and pre-school mountaineers would love.
.... decorating a Children's Day crown ....
.... stamping a fingerprint tree ....
.... painting a self-portrait in a special frame ....
.... blowing up Children's Day balloons ....
.... playing on the ipads....
.... blowing hundreds of bubbles ....
.... finishing a special Children's Day booklet ....
.... and making a carp (koi) fish flag. In Japan carp flags represent children and their families, one fish for each family member, and they are used to celebrate their national Children's Day. We used paper, straws, googly eyes, and small circles folded in half to make our fish.
