Brazil ~ Rain stick

We built a rainforest and decorated our classroom with so much green and also pictures of animals.

This was the best activity for them. The took the hammer, lots of nails and focussed so hard on adding as many nails as possible to make everything work.  

Thank we decorated it as much as we could with glue everywhere. We had so much fun. And then we did a rain dance and played with our giant sticks.

BRAZIL ~ Slithering snakes

Down in the jungle....there's a great activity for fine motor skills.

France - Monet

Our class project....looking at lots of art, especially Monet. They loved his house and how green it all was. We decorated a bridge picture with greens, lilacs and blues and....our own pictures too!

The class loved it so much, they would sketch it in their own free time too.

FRANCE - Bonjour Paris

Sketching words with oil crayons.....

Adding Silhouettes.....

Italy - Leaning tower of...Pisa?

 

 

It's more like a wedding cake formation (!) but our Leaning Tower of Pisa soon changed to the Leaning Tower of PASTA!!

Italy ~ Modigliani

Modigliani style portraits make for a great class project. The older members of the class can accurately draw their own faces and colour them in using wax crayons. Younger members or those not so artisitc can colour in a print out of their own picture. Either way it makes for a great, colourful project that children can really put themselves into and add their own character too. Trust me, no portrait will ever be the same!!

Italy ~ Venetian Masks!

My class simply loved Venice and all of the water, masks and bridges! We used our hands to make this simple craft and each member of the class could add their own personal touches. The handle is simply a pair of wooden chopsticks with coloured tape!
