Project overview
During a morning walk, the little ones collected various materials from nature. They assorted them into different groups to organise their resources. Finally, they carefully visualised all of the capital letters of the alphabet using their findings. We then created a beautiful poster for each learner to take home, and of course, we kept one for our classroom as well.

Student voice
“I learned the alphabet through this project. I really enjoyed building out of chestnuts and sticks. I still look at the beautiful poster when I’m thinking about the alphabet.”
