Creating The Lorax Themed Art– Book Week
What fun the Elephants had this morning exploring and creat-
ing two different Dr Seuss’ The Lorax themed art to go with our
book week theme.
Miss Tenneile invited the children to join her at the table where
the children had the opportunity to choose if they wanted to
paint The Lorax using orange paint first, or use the scrubbing to
create The Truffula Tree.
Olivia - “I want to do it”
Leah— “orange one, please ”
Harvey - “Harvey do tree”
Each of the children took turns using their fine motor skills as
they manipulated the paint brushes to create different line and
patterns on their paper.
Olivia, Zavya and Leah did such a wonderful job colouring in
their Lorax with orange paint, taking their time and doing it so
carefully ensuring their did their best to stay in the lines. Well
done girls!
When creating the Truffula Trees, the children placed pressure
onto the paint scrubbing brush and moved it around in circular
motions to create their trees!
What fun the elephant's had getting creative!
White Board Drawing
After we had finished with our art, Jayson found an interest in
the white boards. So Miss Tenneile placed all of the white
boards and markers on the table for the children to explore.
What colours would you like ? Miss Tenneile asked the Ele-
phants.
Deacon- “Green”
Olivia “I want red”
Cienna- “Cienna pink please”
Jayson- “green”
Harvey- “purple”
The children focused carefully, placing their markers to the
boards as they drew different lines and patterns all over the
boards. Harvey began to draw circles, while Jayson drew tiny
little squiggles.
Drawing allows children to express themselves, their feelings
and their thoughts through their art, while also allowing them to
work on their fine motor skills as they learn to control their fin-
ger grip and movement to the ideas they are expressing.
Quiet Reading
When we had finished doing all our morning activi-
ties, the Elephants noticed that Miss Tenneile had
placed some of our books on the group mat. Keith,
Leah, Ferrah, and Harvey all went over to the mat
to see what books they could read for some quiet
reading before lunch.
While doing some reading on the mat Olivia came
across a book where she had to find certain objects
on the page. Olivia displayed great interest in read-
ing this book and finding the different objects.
Deacon and Harvey both showed an interest in
reading the Cars book together. As I observed Dea-
con and Harvey reading the book together they
both showed a great interest in taking turns at
pointing the pictures out on the pages that they
were reading.
The Elephants have all taken a great interest in
quiet reading at the moment. They have all dis-
played how to take great care with the books and
always making sure they are looking after them.
