Spider Art Work (part I)

We revised the “Incy Wincy Spider” rhyme and the spider song we sang yesterday. The children were more familiar with the words this time rather than just murmured the words out.

Before head on with our spider art, I played them a video about how the spider spins their prey. The video showed the children how the prey got stuck at the web and the spider quickly ran over it to catch hold of it. Then it started to spin web all over the prey and took it away to a side to enjoy its meal.

Then I also showed a few pictures of the black widow to the children as that’s the art work that we need to do. 

Teacher: How many legs do a spider has?

Children: Four…..six…..eight… (They had given a few answers about it)

Teacher: Spider has eight legs. Let’s count and see. Spider are divided into two parts, the head and the abdomen. What other things that you can see from the black widow?

Children: Red colour… (There are some distinctive red marks on the back of the abdomen of a black widow.)

After watching the video and by looking at the picture, I do believe that the children had some idea about the look of a black widow. So I started of by giving each of a child, 2 different sizes of circle for them to cut it out. Then once they were done with the circle, I gave them some lines to cut for the spider’s legs.

Due to insufficient time left for today, we shall continue with the art work on Monday.
