We have a new author to focus on at Virtual Book Club for the month of May (yes I know that's already passed.....sadly I missed the link but still wanted to share....) the very clever Mem Fox!
(the goose that Esther drew while waiting for me to cut out feathers!
Note: the goose is sticking out it's tongue!)
SO with books on the table and art to be had we decided to make some 3D animals!! Our inspiration was from another Mem Fox book called "Boo to a Goose" with amazing 3D illustrations by David Miller.
Zeke and Hannah were keen to make their own "here is the ...... Sheep" and Sophia and Esther got busy making a goose. I helped the girls cut and make LOTS and LOTS of feathers for their geese and when Esther saw the picture of the baby goose (now she knows it's called a gosling) with her Mummy she wanted to make a gosling too!
Both geese are made from paper plates, Esther's one is from HERE and Soph just made it up.
I helped her with the neck and head, she did the beak. I love that she
added grey feathers for the tail and that Esther wanted to have her
gosling tucked under the Mummy's wing keeping safe!! SOoo precious!
Sophia's finished goose!
Zeke's sheep is a "here is a SUPER SHEEP!!" complete with all his insides!! Why do you ask??
Last week the older children went to a science class a local school hold
and there they learnt all about sheep hearts and livers (it was a
dissecting lesson... YUCK!!!) and so he jumped online and got the diagram
and made all the working bits for his super sheep!! His sheep is sooo
super his insides are human!! AWESOME!!!
Hannah has a "here is the Rock Star sheep!" She took her inspiration from Wildstyle from The Lego Movie, added some punk looking makeup and a very groovy guitar!! LOVE IT!
