Japan- Interpretive Art

A fun project is listening to music and watching the class respond with movement, with art, with anything!

While we were studying Japan as a theme, we listened to some J-Pop music,

...and some Okinawan folk music. Everyone's reactions were different but all were colourful and very enjoyable.

JAPAN!!!

We live there...we love there!!!

 Children love to rip, to cut and to glue more than anything!
This collage of Japanese print paper was the perfect opportunity to start our Geography lesson from Japan.

We learnt about the NORTH (Hokkaido), the NORTHEAST (Sendai), SOUTHWEST and SOUTH (Okinawa)

We live in Japan 
We love Japan
The capital city is Tokyo
And we live there.

Do you like the cold?
Do you like the snow?
Then go up north
To Hokkaido.

With lots of food,
Go to Sendai, north east.
Eat Zunda & cow tongue
For a real feast!

If you go south west,
You can see history.
With temples & castles
In each city.

Down in the south,
Is sunny Okinawa.
It’s always hot;
You can swim every hour.

We live in Japan 
We love Japan
The capital city is Tokyo
And we live there.

Brazil / Rainforest - Jaguar

We made a super large jaguar to put in our rainforest!

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.
