The Tamariki love to read books and Kaiako Jo reads a pop up book about different modes of transport. This has become an often requested book and the children love seeing the complex images that jump out from the page. With our imaginations switched on we gathered lots of different materials and made our very own pop up pictures.
The children enjoyed telling their own stories through their creations with the most important elements 'popping' out from the page. Through story telling the children are able to make connections to previous experiences as well as learn to express their thoughts and ideas through multiple mediums.
They are gaining skill and confidence with the processes of art, developing their knowledge of different materials and how they can be manipulated to achieve the desired outcome and mastering the different tools involved in the process of creation (celotape dispenser, scissors, hot glue gun etc).
We also learnt some new technical words talking about concepts such as , landscape/portrait and background/foreground.
