This month, we made winter trees. We practiced using chalk pastels to make a horizon, where the sky meets the ground. It was tricky to keep the ground snowy white but they turned out beautifully!
The students noted that:
NM: We did the sky by chalk.
LL: We made smiles, lots.
KLY: Then we rub the smiles.
WK: We rub so other holes not white.
RM: It’s to spread out the colours.
AA: I was putting the snow with the brush, the back.
HF: We used a sponge to make the snow white, white.
CC: We used white paint.
SL: There snow on the top.
LL: We used crayon and made the tree, the tree had to touch the snow and the sky.
RM: We made a naked tree because there’s not enough food.
ME: No leaves, the leaves fall down so they can be the ground’s blanket and ‘cause there’s not enough food because it’s Winter.
HF: Trees get food from sun, there only a little bit of sun in Winter.
NT: The tree is sleeping! We finished it in 3 days and that’s ok, it has to be dry or if we do everything at the same time it’ll melt.
