Camouflage

The children learned that most Artic animals are white so they can camouflage with the snow to protect themselves from predators. One morning this week, we were putting a cover on a mat for our play "Le petit Chaperon rouge" when we noticed that Giuliana G. was wearing a pattern similar to the mat cover. In Math, we are learning about patterns and the children have started to notice patterns on their clothes. After making that observation, we said the mat would be a perfect camouflage for Giuliana. We took a picture of Giuliana on the mat. The other children also wanted to camouflage themselves within the classroom environment so we took other pictures during the week. We extended the activity into a game after reading the book "Camouflage" in French. We used the pictures taken during the week to practise the pattern phrase of the book: "Qui se cache...?" The children had fun trying to identify their friend in each picture. Here are our pictures. See if you can identify who is hiding in each one.
