Creating a Mural – The seed story

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.
