Each term as we have new groups of girls settling into the classroom we like to explore the idea of 'Who we are' with them. Over the period of a week or so we work with the girls to explore what makes them unique. During this time we look closely at our eyes, the colour and length of our hair, whether or not we have freckles etc. It is always wonderful to listen to the girls as they make discoveries about themselves. "I've never really noticed this tiny dot on my face before!" Paige explained today.
On Monday the girls focused on their eyes, and we were surprised to find that all of our new girls but one had brown/hazel eyes! The girls worked with mirrors to sketch their eyes in pencil and following on from this they drew them again, this time with black pen and coloured pencils.
