Trip to Strandheim and circus

On monday this week we had an activity with the Play Outdoor class.
We had a lot of circus activities within 2 hours. I don't have much to add about this. both my fine and gross motor skills are bad and I sucked at everything the teacher wanted us to do. Since she wanted to do so many things I never had time to actually try to at least do one thing right. This left me pretty frustrated and even less motivated for the trip.


The first day of the trip was really cold. It was raining and 3 degrees. 
We started with a couple of games. I didn't enjoy it that much since I was pretty annoyed with everything surrounding this trip.
After that we had to make a fairy tale circus. None in my group weren't really sure how to do that and none of us had actual skills to put into a circus. So we decided to just do a play and give it a fun twist.

As a twist we decided on 2 different things. First we decided to follow the Wolf instead of little red riding hood. But the Wolf pretended to be little red riding hood, so that the audience had a twist in the story.
The second twist was that we followed a news reporter and a documentary maker while they took the audience on a trip through the fairytale.
This was pretty fun to do, but it wasn't the assignment since it lacked circus elements. But all and all we were happy with what we did and we had fun.

The rest of the first day wasn't that interesting. Cooking with a group was fun and I had a lot of fun with Pia singing a Dutch childrens song while working on the soup (this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65MpTMtZhKM) 

The second day we played a couple of children games. It was fun, but I can't really say I learned much from it. The topics we talked about I already had in classes back in The Netherlands during my Kindergarten half year.

On friday we had Myths. We had to make a presentation about local myths from our country. I didn't know any of the myths that were talked about, so that was pretty cool. Really fun to learn about different myths from different countries. This inspired me to learn about more myths in the future after I'm finished with school

Week 38 - Stop-motion Animation by Eva Pérez

Eva Pérez Abril STOP-MOTION ANIMATION   This week we have been working on the technique called "Stop-motion", which consists of making static objects appear to move by means of a series of successive still images. The movement is constructed by manipulating an object, with one's own hands, frame by frame.   On Thursday I had to create an animation with two pictures using bold black pens and two sheets of paper and doing two drawings with a small difference. Causing an action was important. I decided to do a Mickey Mouse running. Here is the result:  Animation with two pictures On Wednesday we did in groups an altercation (altercation of two everyday objects), an origami (an origami boat), a snowman (snowman turning back) and a superhero congratulation card.  Altercation We use a cup of coffee and some food for doing the animation. We also put some music to emphasise the situation.  Origami We decided to make an origami boat. The main challenge here was trying to...

WEEK 37 - Art project as team building?

Imagen
PETRA This week we spent making different kinds of puppets. It was interesting and also fun to try all those tasks and create something real. But I think the most important thing I have learnt is that you can use an art project as a task for a whole group of students, not only as an individual work.
