NOVA - Alternative Schools Limassol

Nothing makes us prouder than watching our children confidently showcase all they have learned throughout the year. 💚A big thank you to Ms. Gabriella for creating such a fun and memorable AGO event for our children and families.
From sharing their skills with their parents to celebrating their achievements at the award ceremony, the children embraced every moment with confidence and excitement. The survival obstacle course was a definite highlight, with plenty of teamwork, determination, and smiles along the way!🏅

Our young creators stepped into the world of Edvard Munch and brought the iconic The Scream to life in their own unique way!
Using color, imagination, and plenty of dramatic expressions, the children explored one of the most famous artworks in history while learning about emotions, creativity, and self-expression. The results were absolutely priceless!!!!! 😱

Inspired by Wassily Kandinsky, the children created colourful circle trees using different shapes, sizes, and vibrant colours to bring their artwork to life. 🌳🎨
As the children carefully added each circle to their trees, they explored patterns, balance, and colour combinations while expressing their own creativity in unique ways. We loved seeing every tree become as individual and creative as the children themselves!

Inspired by the expressive artwork of Jackson Po***ck, the children explored physical development through art by using large muscle movements to create their own drip paint masterpieces on a large sheet. 🎨 This exciting activity encouraged the children to stretch, reach, swing, and move their whole bodies as they experimented with paint and colour. The children were able to strengthen their gross motor skills, coordination, and body control, shining through every splash and drip of paint!

🎨 Our NOVA learners discovered the colourful world of Alma Thomas through a creative collage activity using vibrant paper pieces to design their own unique artworks. As they explored colour, texture, and composition, the children practised decision-making, concentration, and self-expression in a fun and engaging way. Every collage reflected their imagination and individuality!

Exploring the world of Piet Mondrian! Our little artists have been busy creating colourful masterpieces inspired by the famous Dutch artist, learning about lines, shapes, and primary colours! 🟥🟦🟨 Creativity, focus, and fun all in one lesson!!!

In Home Economics, our children are encouraged to take part in simple daily activities that help them care for themselves and their environment, like washing and drying their own clothes. 🧺☀️
The goal is not perfection. Clothes may be folded differently, pegs may end up in the wrong place, and that is all part of the learning process. What truly matters is giving children the opportunity to participate, try independently, and feel proud of contributing in meaningful ways. 💛
These small responsibilities help children build confidence, independence, coordination, and a sense of belonging. Through practical experiences, they begin to understand that they are capable, helpful, and an important part of both the classroom and home environment.

Shapes, Culture & Creativity 🎨🔺🟦
This week in mathematics, our students explored the world of shapes through the inspiring artwork of Pablo Picasso. Using triangles, circles, rectangles, and squares, the children created unique Picasso-inspired faces that celebrated both creativity and individuality.
As part of our Cultural Diversity theme, we discussed how every person is different and how those differences make our world beautiful. Just like Picasso’s art, each masterpiece was wonderfully unique, showing that there is no single way to create, think, or express ourselves. 💛🌍

Our children loved exploring the story Handa’s Surprise by Eileen Browne. Through sensory play, creative artwork, and group discussions, the children explored the events in the story and talked about the different characters. The story also gave us a wonderful opportunity to learn about diversity and culture. The children noticed similarities and differences between themselves and the children in the book, including clothing, hairstyles, food, and traditions. These conversations encouraged curiosity, respect, and appreciation for people and cultures around the world. 🌎❤️ The children especially loved exploring the different fruits from the story and bringing Handa’s journey to life through imaginative play and art activities. 🍌🍍🍊
