The Summer English Language and Art course (short duration) for 4-6 year old children - Lisbon - The 17th and 18th of July 2018

(...)

Children were introduced to a wide variety of activities, all of which were related to the book. I don't exactly know which they were fascinated with the most, once they seemed to get enthusiastic with each and everyone of them - from the puzzle making to the identification of animals and fruits, as well as the introduction to African handicraft.

 

 

As they finished their artistic works they were given new ones and there again they seemed to get more and more committed to finishing them before the exhibition day.

The Summer English Language and Art course (short duration) for 4-6 year old children - Lisbon - The 16 and 17th of July 2018

 

 

The Summer English and Art course for 4 to 6 year old children was not attended by many children because once the dates were made known many parents had already enrolled their children in other activities, but I must confess I was particularly happy to see that most of the children (with the exception of the youngest) had attended my courses before and had actually insisted on attending this particular one.

 

 

Having a 4 year old child among 6 year olds worried me initially, though I soon realised he was so committed and outgoing that he had no problem at all in adehring to all the activities and was mostly at the forefront of everything, having an incredible capacity to memorize words (the course theme was related to fruits and animals). 

 

 

Because the book I wanted to explore in the classroom was set in Africa I decided to bring some African artefacts therewith related, which I also intended to exhibit in the final day. Most of the children got fascinated with a painted ostrich egg depicting a buffalo (one of the animals in the story book).
