Greece- 1o Nipiagogeio Voulas-Johannes Vermeer’s painting filled with flowers!

Vermeer’s  “Girl with the Pearl Earring”  had fascinated our students and so we decided to make copies of it by using a real model! A student -aged 4- stood still for over 15’ so that her classmates could paint her. When the paintings were dried we transformed them to vases simply by folding the cardboards. At the end we added  few flowers from our garden. Fresh and colorful art!

Greece-Saint Joseph Nursery School- “Herbs and Plants”

Before our Easter holidays kids of Saint Joseph have participated in an experiential program titled “Herbs and plants” , where they were happy to discover the treasures of nature.

Firstly, we’ve learnt about planting the crops and drying the herbs. Then we cleaned the garden from the wild grass and watered it. After the hard work kids became farmers and fresh vegetables were gathered from the garden and ended in our plates ready to be eaten!! Finally, the most exciting thing was when kids fed the animals of the farm and dyed the eggs that they had previously collected from the chicken!!
