EGG COMPETITION

The Great Egg Competition

   Primary Levels 201

THE EGG COMPETITION 

for all Primary students this term. As with the Carnaval mask competition last year there will be a letter sent to all parents and children will be expected to produce their entries at home. However, it would be a good idea if teachers could introduce the idea of the competition and explain what is expected of students. There is a simple lesson plan attached, and a rough guide for writing the accompanying story(for Upper Primary)

The basis of the competition is as follows

·        Each entry will be based on an egg shape (some example templates attached)

·        These egg shapes – there is no limit on size – should then be decorated or transformed in some way, using any kind of material or technique (paper, crayons, paint, collage etc).

·        They can represent something as simple as a decorated Easter egg, or to the other extreme a whole egg orchestra dressed up in evening dress and each egg with an instrument (one of my students actually DID this with blown eggs once).

Other ideas – a hot air balloon, a cable car, Humpty Dumpty, a car, a ladybird a basket etc.

The childrens’ imagination is the only limit. Look up “decorated eggs ideas” on Google images for more ideas.

Upper Primary students should accompany their entry with a short story involving their egg invention/character.

Last day for the entries is Monday 7^th March. It would be good if you could provide your classes with templates to take home to produce their entries, although any size egg shape will be accepted.
