This week in in 4SM @RF, we have been learning about rivers in geography and decided to incorporate this into our creative writing. We have been writing poems about how rivers make us feel, what they look like and how they capture our imagination. The children loved the freedom they had to design and write their own poems and they have produced some delightful outcomes. 

We have also been studying Angie Lewin and how she manipulate colour to create mood and tone in her work surrounding wildlife. The children used water colours to create a gradient effect for the background and then carefully used their brush control to paint on flowers and wildlife on top.
