Our final session took place with Ruby, unfortunately she was unable to visit us in person, so it was a virtual visit instead.  Ruby had spent a lot of time and put a lot of work into creating a beautiful PowerPoint of all the children’s work.  The main focal point of the presentation was the photographs of the children’s hands and the maps that they had drawn of their favourite areas of the school.  Throughout the session there was talk and discussion about all the different areas of the school and discussing the various images that were re-created through the layering process.  Each child had an opportunity to name their picture with some very inventive titles being discussed including…

“The liney hand”, “The unique hand”, “The different hand”, “The hand gun”, “The mysterious hand”, “The interesting hand”, “The swirley hand”, “The roller coaster hand”, “The sea hand”, “The palm of my hand”, “The hand that joined”, “The squiggly hand”, “The outlined hand”, “The twiggy hand”, “Lines, lines and more lines”, “Bat hand”, “Banana hand”, “Dots and lines”,  “The castle hand”, “The dotted hand” and “In safe hands”.

The session was easily integrated with various parts of the curriculum including literacy, oral language, maths, shape & space, geography, map work, visual arts and lots more.
