Students and work from class A.
As well as learning to work we also need to learn how to prepare, and then clean up afterwards.
Today we could start quickly because we learned where lots of the materials are, and how to use them in last lesson.
After explaining the goal of the activity I let the students use their imagination.
Students worked at their own pace in the activity.
“Teacher, my fingers are bald!”
and I looked back in amazement.
We started to put the paint onto the paper.
Some people working found a way to express their enjoyment silently.
Not just painting is involved. Here we have thunder and lightning shown by scratching.
During break time we have a chance to look at each other’s work.
Lots of people were changing ideas after talking to their friends after getting more inspiration (although some people were determined to draw rabbits!).
We had some gestures to try and show what they could see.
The activity continued after changing the paint.
There are subtle differences in colours, for children these differences can be important.
I’ll introduce some of the work.
It’s a duck.
It’s a car.
It’s a cloud of tadpoles.
And if you wait for tadpoles…
It’s a frog!
Then it’s time to clean up!
I don’t need to say anything and the students make the room spotless!
