After we played at the forest, we walked in our neighbourhood for looking at some cherry blossom trees.
We closely looked at the petals and we gently touched the petals and counted how many petals the one flower had.
When we came back CM from the little walk, the winds made petals move on the ground.
It look like a moving pink carpet!! Aegon tried to step on petals but they were moving so quickly!
We started to draw the tree, and the children remembered may details.
And after we finished drawing the trunk and branches we added flowers. they made from squished little tissue squares.
A few children asked the teachers, " I need green tissues! " They noticed there aren't only flowers on the branches, but also tiny green leaves beside of cherry blossoms.
One child noticed there were many hues of pink and so we added more variety of pink to the finished product.
Some of trees has very stout stems, some of trees had many branches. Through this experience I was reminded that it is very important to see and touch nature closely.
And I felt so lucky, that our school has a beautiful neighbourhood that gives the children more ideas to explore.
