Ciao a tutti,

What’s on this week in the Lab of Minitalia?

I will start from the beginning of this term because this week is the workshop that will close our term into the Space.

Minitalia Lab with all the Mini-Explorers will be engaged in one of our creative game, created to put a flag on the Moon, the beautiful Luna we tried to reached along this term.

We have been building a rocketship thanks to one of the best engineer in the whole word, the genius of Leonardo Da Vinci and then we all became Astronauts as Neil Armstrong and flew through the Starry Night of Van Gogh to meet one of the biggest star: the shiny Sun that in the painting of Gianni Balla was so colourful to help us to draw a rainbow. After this and more adventures we have explored during this fantastic term, we moved on the Moon with the sound of “Chiaro di Luna” of Beethoven.

This week my workshop has been inspired from Jasper Jones but most of all from the amazing book of Gianni Rodari one of the best Italian writer for children’s books. For his lasting contribution he received the biennial, international Hans Christian Andersen Award. I have chosen the book “Uno e 7”, because tell us about the different colour of the flags and most of all is the first book to tell to children about peace.
Gianni Rodari wrote this book when the world was fighting for the colour of the flags. Since then we have reached the Moon a few times…

I wonder which colour should be today the flag of the world the one we live all together and the one we should share every day…

I like to share at Minitalia Lab the best of my country and the best I found on my way around my world. I like to think that the world is mine and I like to think my Mini-Explorers one day will have a world their own…

So let’s put a flag on the Moon and move forward…
Term 3 is waiting for us!
