As
part of our focus on how Messages can be relayed and received through
different forms of expression, we
are exploring how stories can be expressed through pictures. We started with
the quote ‘A picture tells a thousand words’ by
Arthur Brisbane 1911. As part of the
children’s investigations into seeds, we are creating murals to tell ‘The Seed Story’. The children started by making
observational drawings of natural objects using coloured pencils, leaf rubbings
using pastels, leaf drawings using black pens and painting natural objects
using water colour. The children also
collected natural objects, created a classification chart and another chart the children researched
facts about natural objects. We used a
combination of all the learning experiences to create a mural. The mural tells the cycle of the seed, the
seasons and includes all the research from the facts chart.
