'We are learning to think creatively. We listened to the story of Elmer and talked about it. With our talking partners we thought about what we would like to do. Then we made a brainstorm showing what we really want to do.
We are planning our own, 'Elmer's Day Parade'.
We would like to make some shoebox 3d art showing jungles and elephants.
We want to learn about colour because Elmer is a patchwork elephant.'

The children have already made a good start at planning their 'Elmer's Day Parade' for the end of term - including food, games, movies, a masked parade and their own 'elephant' names!
In art Room 2 has been thinking about line, shape, colour and space as they designed their own patterned elephants for a 'Where's Elmer?' display (just like Where's Wally?).
Term 3 is well under way and it's going to be a busy, busy term!
Superb thinking, Room 2. You have thought of some great ideas that demonstrate how you are going to be creative with interpreting the book. I really look forward to seeing what you achieve and come up with. Mr Orr.

ReplyDeleteGreat ideas Room 2, so many possibilities that I am looking forward to seeing come alive over the next term. I love visiting your blog to follow what you are learning! The Elmer's Day Parade sounds like it will be full of fun and excitement. Good luck with the planning!
