It has been the thrust of the board to make kindergarten learning child-driven. We encourage our children to use their imagination to create things that they would like to make due to interest and background knowledge.
At the art centre, which is also the imagination centre, I have left four tin cans, along with toilet paper rolls, beads, feathers, buttons and the like.
One child wanted to make a robot. So, I presented to him the materials and asked him to draw his own design of a robot.
He designed his robot as below!
Based on what he wants, we created his robot by adding structure to it using cardboards, clear tape and necessary materials like beads and buttons. He wanted to make his robot stand up so we had to analyze what to use and how to use the toilet paper rolls to serve this purpose. And voila...
As you can see, Jacob even remembered what he learned previously and made an AB pattern on the robot's body.
Great job, Jacob!
