Lines of Inquiry:
Exploring a variety of decorations from various cultures (form)
Building on the children's prior knowledge prior knowledge:
Decorations can be used to decorate out home on holidays
Sharing pictures of decorations used in various celebrations led to discussion about what items were used for decoration and stories of decorations used at home for celebrations.
I reminded the children that last week they noticed that Button Blankets used in FIrst Nations celebrations had specific colours. As they looked at the pictures today I asked them if they noticed any specific colours in these celebrations.
The two pictures that prompted the most discussion was Halloween and Hanukkah.
They noticed lots of orange and black for Halloween and blue and white for Hanukkah.
"What is Hanukkah" asked Rielle
Luckily Sophie, who celebrates Hanukkah, brought in a book that described the celebration and the decorations used.
The children explored orange and black paint - colours used in Halloween decorations.
