After returning home we announced that the kindergarten will organize a Spider Day. We exchanged experience with our colleagues how to study spiders in the nature.
All the groups started preparation for the Spider Day. Parents were involved as well, we offered them to produce spiders from the secondary raw materials, plasticine, wire, clay, buttons, etc., to find information on spiders in the Internet, books, encyclopedia, magazines and study it. The parents were very active and produced different spiders. We have even arranged an creative exhibition Spiders Revive in Autumn.
We had interviews on spiders in the groups. Children drew spiders in gouache, watercolors, chalk, pencils, cut, made appliqués, created out of plasticine and other natural materials.
Children searched for spiders in the kindergarten territory and nearby the lake Rekyva. They watched and studied the spiders.
This work was extremely interesting for children so it extended to the whole Spider week.
The teacher of art produced a spider. An idea to take the spider home and create a story, fairytale or poem has arrived. After all stories were collected and a book Spiders Journey to Children was created.
The gala event of the Spider Week was performance Spider Marriage. The most creative parents were awarded for participation at the exhibition Spiders Revive in Autumn.
