...beanstalk!
Have you noticed the giant beanstalk that has appeared in our classroom?
Growing beans wouldn't be complete without thinking about Jack and his beanstalk. The girls love this story, in particular the parts of the story that they can repeat. Their favourite is, "Fee, fi, fo, fum, I smell the blood of an English man..." They have enthusiastically embraced the idea of making a picture story and the first step in this has been to create the beanstalk.
Over the last week the girls have been busy working to design and create this.
The girls looked closely at their own bean plants when it came time to draw the leaves, paying careful attention to the shape of the leaves as well as the veins. Painting the leaves with water colours was very exciting. The girls have practiced their cutting skills, working to cut out their leaves to stick in their books and have written short stories about them too.
Here are some photos of our beanstalk as well as the girls working to paint their leaves:
Very good work by all the girls. The last two, especially, could easily make it to the Auckland Art Gallery for display. Our girls are under five and this is very detailed and considered work for that age group.
ReplyDeleteNice! Great team work again! I love how each of you contribute towards the final art work. Maybe you girls can put up a little skit about Jack and the beanstalk story? You can create your own version?
