120107 Annual Activity at Preschool (親子闖關活動)

Ethan and Helen are walking on the bridge crossing a "swamp". It's a part of the Animal World.
In the preschool Ethan goes there is an activity each year requires all kids to work with the teachers for at least a month to decorate their classroom and then invites all parents to come and play with the kids. In this school year it was on January 7th.

Ethan entered this preschool last year right after the activity and didn't participate it. So this was his first time. There are four classrooms in the preschool and in each one of them there was a theme. Like in the first photo above the theme was "Animal World", and in the photo below was another classroom "Ancient Life". Ethan's classroom was "Holes".

What I appreciated it was that it got all kids to involve. The teachers would just hint them with the subject and the kids needed to get their hands on. All the decoration was made by the preschoolers and the teachers finished it to hang them onto the wall and the ceiling. It was not that the teachers did it all and then let kids to play in. I was told the whole work took them about a month, for the once-a-year special day.

We had great fun and great weather that day.
Ethan was experiencing lifting water from a well. It was much heavier then it looked.

The spiders and web cob in Ethan's classroom. It's all made by Ethan and his classmates.

In "Holes", you got to go through different holes to reach each partition.

In each partition there was different subjects to explore.

Then go to the next one. There was no shortcuts for parents so we must go through the same  path to catch up.

That was Ethan's drawing, An ant queen.
