Who is that man?!
On Monday the children were presented with a picture taken from a story book.
The children were asked to look at the picture for one minute and to have a think about what they could see. Their responses were as follows:
"I can see the moon"
"It's an alien"
"Its a scarecrow"
"Look it's the sea"
"Who is that man?"
The children's thoughts were challenged and I asked them why they thought it was an alien and one child responded, "because it's dark and it's got a shirt and arms". Lots of other children suggested it was a scarecrow because of his hat. One child added to the discussion, "It is because its standing still". We spoke about what the man was doing and how he was feeling. The children thought he was looking for the bees (the green dots) and could tell me he was sad.
The children then looked at the picture again and closed their eyes. This time I asked the children to think about the noises they could hear and if it was hot or cold. The children could tell me:
"It is cold because it's windy on the grass."
"I can hear the grass moving."
"I can hear the bees."
"The sea."
Lets make a scarecrow!
The children have been applying their knowledge of 2D shapes into making their own scarecrows, naming the properties!
Using natural materials, the children made their own interpretations of a scarecrow. They were able to talk about the features that they needed and had fun showing their models to their friends.
What next....?
Outside the children drew scarecrows on the floor with chalk and decided to make scarecrow kites to fly in the wind.
Carrot writing anyone?

Once the children had finished making their scarecrows, they were taught how to represent the number of shapes they used into a bar cart.
