Mask Making

This morning a small group of children were gathered around the art table and very quickly shared their intentions with Sandra - to make masks.

So as some conversations around how everyone's masks were going to look look place, there was a hive of activity. Children around the art table choosing the right colour and sized piece of paper before drawing their mask design of choice on. For some, this took time and practise, getting exactly the right design that they had it mind - striving for accuracy was clearly important at this point!

And then it was time to cut out their masks, it took some time to cut around the outside of the mask design and for some a harder task than for others. Ka pakeke te haere kaua e hemo - When things get difficult don’t give up. Perseverance was definately Habit of Mind that was practised today, as everyone stuck to the task of finishing their mask. Jordan was soon recognised as the expert in cutting out eye holes on his mask and also supported others with this necessary task! As the string was tied the masks could not be put on fast enough and the play began in character of corse!
