The kids' school had a project fair in school and I thought it was such a great idea. Instead of just doing projects to score marks, the school had an open Saturday where projects done by the students are made available for their parents and friends to view. Even the K1 & K2 students were involved!
Ann's project was about the African animals, these were her masterpieces...
Love her drawing on the tiger
Pretty friendly cheetahs
More of her works
Homemade animal costumes. The white one belongs to Ann
Jellyfish and swordfish done by another class
Animals made by using recycled materials such as tissue boxes, bottle caps etc...
Ann and two of her classmates making presentation in front of parents, teachers and friends. Very proud of her, she has grown to be a very confident speaker.
Way to go, my little princess!
Kai's project was on the old and new Shanghai
Some other projects done by the primary school kids
Looking at the projects, you will know that these are done by the students. Very raw, very amateur but that is the way it should be. School projects should not and must not be done by parents using the latest technology and complicate gadets. The whole purpose of having projects is to allow the children to be creative and innovative. To have lessons outside the textbook. Our role as parents is to guide them, give them advice, give them ideas but NEVER to do it for them.
