Over this last week we have been looking closely at some historical photos of Diocesan
that show trees that are still in the grounds today. We have taken the girls on walks to
look at them and talk about what changes they can see between the old photos and what they can see now. We have focussed on the Norfolk Pines by the Junior School and the Rimu
by Old School house and used these trees for sketching.
Being able to look at something and then put what you see onto
paper is a challenge. Malaguzzi (Reggio Emilia) said it this way...
"The question of transferring words into graphic representation is not simple because it involves making strong selections and sometimes they will need to pause to clarify ideas before putting them down on paper and making them visible to others"
Here are the girls sketching the trees ...
