Our PYP unit in Grade 3 was about markets and services. We spoke about fair trade and made graphic identity: logos, stamps and posters, for imaginary fair trade services children had chosen.

Must be time for the last supper
Printing is always amazing. So many Oh-s and Wow-s produced during a class. Also some Oh no-s, sure.
Kids made beautiful prints of The last supper. We couldn’t decide which were better, the actual prints or the matrix.
Printing Elmer
We read a book Elmer the Elephant in the Mini class and we did some sponge dipping for the patchwork elephant and some brush painting for the carnival elephant.
Of course you have to read the book if you want to understand that!
It was fun!
Summer Camp “What can you do with an old suitcase”
Our first summer camp at Raumerstrasse turned out wonderful. Our project was entertraining, merry and joyfull. Children would gladly prolong it until Friday and we could probably really be working for another week to make it all perfect and satisfy all the ideas and wishes.
Development of our project was really in stages and it involved everything: planing, drawing, sawing, measuring, gluing, use of all sorts of tools, printing, decorating, painting, building, sewing, assembling of mosaics. We made some chalk colour and painted the front of the suitcases.
Anyhow, children made beautiful little homes and they were very excited to exhibit them for their parents on our very last day. They also had great time with each other, made new friends, helped each other a lot and had the weather on their side.
Good new times!
