Over the rainbow

Look at our fantastic rainbow!

Over the Christmas holidays Class One acquired some new resources for the classroom which are designed to help develop their creativity, imagination and thinking skills. Children are blessed with a huge capacity for creative thinking. These these knew "intelligent" resources encourage creativity in a similar way to the empty cardboard box they choose to play with instead of the expensive gift it contained. Of all the new resources our definite favourite at the moment is this amazing rainbow.

There are no instructions because there are no right or wrong ways to enjoy this beautiful piece of equipment.

Theo's slide, Sam and Martha's cave and Jerram and Koutaro's volcano are just some of the wonderful things we have created. We've only been back at school for a week and already the rainbow has been used independently and incorporated with other resources - making new connections and developing new ideas and skills.



The children describe their rainbow as beautiful and amazing. Below are some of the photographs they have taken independently.
