Creative Curriculum Time (CCT)
The children in Prep and Pre-Prep had a wonderful Creative Curriculum day, finding patterns in many different forms:

Sky - Looking at cosmic patterns and constellations using the 'skyview' app, creating constellations, and lightboxes.
Weather - How human behaviour has affected weather patterns and contributed to climate change.
Mandala - Patterns created for a Mandala - used as a religious symbol, often circular with geometric shapes and symmetry.
Quilts - Discovering how quilt patterns were used as maps to guide slaves escaping along the underground railroad, from America to Canada.
Nature - Finding patterns in nature and then creating poetry, pictures or descriptive text.
Pre-Prep
Shape Patterns and Tessellation - creating dinosaurs!
