Fairy tales

In my class we have been working with the subject Fairy tales. It's one of my favorite subjects. We (my colleague and I) read the fairy stories, we sing fairy songs, make all kind of pieces and creative things.
We turned the housecorner into a castle with a large painted sheet.

I absolutely love your fairy tale castle and the children's art work. It's all frameable!! Have the kids made and eaten Fairy Bread?? It's on my blog someplace.

And that peek at what looks like a purse... yes??... looks like something I'd love. I'm anxious to see it when it's done!

Have a fairy good weekend... tee-hee!

Fijn weekend met je prins!

Wat is het toch heerlijk om met thema's te werken. Begin van het schooljaar zijn wij ook met sprookjes gestart. (als je wilt neem eens een kijkje op mijn klassenblog http://weblogs.abbsdezuiderzee.nl/groep1en2a/)Heb je gezien dat er een Russian doll swap is bij Katy? http://www.imagingermonkey.blogspot.com/ Je nieuwe werk ziet er kleurrijk uit, ik ben benieuwd wat het gaat worden!

Hi, what a fun project for the children. Great finds...no doubt the braid and sewing basket will be really useful.
Have a lovely day in Amsterdam.

Wat hebben die kinderen prachtige werkjes gemaakt! Maar jouw tas ziet er ook niet mis uit! Ben benieuwd naar de volledige tas :) Misschien komen er nog heel veel sprookjes uit te voorschijn
