Teacher Tom’s ping pong art
We picked up this great idea the other day from ‘Teacher Tom‘. We were attracted by the a post titled -‘Boy Art‘ and we figured any idea that attract boys to try creative activities is definitely worth giving a go! We’ve always enjoyed offering the children marbles to paint with. It’s a fun creative exercise where the children dip marbles into paint … drop them into trays lined with paper and roll them around. It provides a wonderful opportunity for pattern making … and any one who’s been following our blog for any length of time will know we believe you can never have too many opportunities for colour mixing! Thanks to Tom we were able to add a new dimension to this popular activity. Using our removable tray-table-top we headed outside into our wonderful Melbourne, autumn weather … and using ping pong balls dipped in paint, instead of marbles, we set the children free to create! So, just like Tom’s students, our Red Group children used the straws to hit the balls around on the paper.

Seanan McGuire: Fairy Tale Survival FAQ
Have you ever wondered how to respond when a strange man on the street offers you six magic beans in exchange for the family cow? Are you unclear on how one survives encounters with witches, dragons, giants, and worst of all, pixies? Then the Fairy Tale and Ballad Survival FAQ is exactly what you need to keep you alive long enough to get to "happily ever after." From elves and gnomes to magic mirrors and enchanted princesses, we'll try to address your biggest concerns. As with all magical spells, results are not guaranteed. Once upon a time... Before you can be helped through the fairy tale or ballad in which you are trapped, we must first determine whether you're actually in a fairy tale, since the logic of such stories is not like our Earth logic. 1. If the answer to more than half of these questions is "yes," you may well be stranded in a fairy tale. Return to Top of Page Q: What should I bring with me if I think there's a chance I'm going to wind up in a fairy tale? A: No. A: No.
The Encyclopedia of Arda
The Encyclopedia of Arda is a personal project - a tribute to and a celebration of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. The site is evolving into an illustrated hypertext encyclopedia of Tolkien's realms and peoples. It already contains about four thousand entries, and we're constantly adding new entries and expanding existing ones. Inside the encyclopedia The Encyclopedia of Arda contains thousands of articles covering topics from J.R.R. You'll also find a selection of interactive tools, including a chronicle to help you explore Tolkien's fictional history, and calendar to translate dates and events, a lexicon of names, a glossary of old and rare words, and much more. Context and approach The content of the Encyclopedia is written in the same context as Tolkien himself used; he presented himself simply as a translator, rather than originator of the tales. About the name Arda Special thanks But the real Special Thanks, though, belong to the memory of J.R.R.
