Fiji ideas

Bula!
I am sharing with you some of the ideas the kids have for room projects for our festival display to show what we've learned.
I know some of you want to be involved. We are looking for any of you that want to take on any of these projects. We are also hoping to gather materials for making things. Some kids are making their own for I-Search at home, that's ok. They will go on display. I hope people aren't too confused by that.
Class ideas for the room (kids will participate with adult support):
Waterfall/river
Coral Reef
Model of tourist district and a model of a village
Example of a village house (maybe big enough to get in and show models of food).
I am also interested in coming up with small items to make so each child gets to participate. Some ideas are paper mache: animals, (Fish,bats, iguanas, sea turtles, food...)
Tissue paper flowers
We will also be making posters with information and maps.
Palm Trees, Banana trees
Here are links to some videos Rick and I looked at to get ideas

OK, I LOVE brainstorming! We probably won't do all of these, and we might come up with something better as we go.
For those of you who are creative and want to be a part of it, let us know if any of these ideas inspire you!!

If you can't come in to participate in the projects, watch for list of materials we may need. We would like to stick to recycleable stuff, that we can recycle when we tear it all down.
By next week I will have a list of some best times to work on projects. stay tuned!!
