This week we were sat round the table eating lunch when the children started talking about the boat trip we made to Skansen in the spring, and how the water was so wavy that it soaked us head to foot as we stood outside.
They also pointed out that not everyone was with us that day (sickness, days off etc) and that we must go back to Skansen again.
So I asked "What is it we can learn at Skansen?" - I wanted them to argue their case...
There was a very short pause then the answer came...
"We can draw the animals there, just like Leonardo Da Vinci drew animals... we can learn how to draw animals".
Not only had this child found an area of learning that we could do at Skansen it was also connected to the project we are doing...
I was convinced... so we will be going to Skansen on Thursday...
For those of you wondering what Skansen is... it is the world's first open air museum, founded in 1891!! - You can find out more by clicking on this link.
And a few quotes to end this Sunday, and kick start your week...
