After learning about 'rights' and 'children's rights' with their teachers and educators, the Kindergarten children decided on six rights that are the most important to them.
Each week the Kindergarten teachers and educators focused the children's learning around one of the chosen rights. Through drawings and their stories, the children communicated what the right meant to them.
Each week CommunARTy collected the children's drawings and writing and, in pencil, scaled the drawings up to fill the 2.4 x 1.2m panels. The Kindergarten children then worked collaboratively with Al from CommunARTy to paint the drawings.
The children enthusiastically discussed the colours, shapes, lines and letters on the panels. They explored new ways to apply paint over such large areas and learned new painting techniques. Showing great pride, the children regularly stood back to appreciate their own work and that of their friends. The children were intrigued that all the passing 'buses, people and dogs' would be able to see their painting. With the fence panels now installed at the Flamingo Drive Centre, the children's work is bringing smiles to the faces of the Albany Creek community.
