For our school's annual barbecue this past week, we decided to
set out an invitation for families to create beautiful wire and bead art. We
hoped to add a bit of sparkle and wonder to our tree branch chandelier (thanks
to Pinterest for the idea, yet again!!) and welcomed an opportunity to get to
know our families. We set out a note in a frame, covered our regular table
with a beautiful cloth made by the Sami in Lapland, a lovely flowering
begonia from the garden, several wooden bowls of different coloured and
textured beads, and some pliable wire arranged on a bamboo plate.
Families were so generous with their time and each made one to
hang on our chandelier. Children invited their classmates, parents, and
siblings to create something beautiful with them that night. We loved how
it brought us all together in a collaborative project at the beginning of our
journey together.
