This week in 2G we started our 3 week project all about maps.
We looked at different kinds of maps..
and thought about what kinds of information they have in them.
Some were quite different, like this painting of an island,
or this one which is of a sleeping dog dreaming about where to chase squirrels!
We went into the playground to lay trails of our own..
and to make collections of as many different things as we could find - leaves, berries, stones, twigs, wrappers...even lost hairbands. These collections are going to be part of a big map that we'll be working on over the next two weeks which will be a map of Found Things from our playground.
Here are just of the items that we found...
We looked at them closely and began to sort them into similar shapes, materials, colours, size and found interesting ways to present them... in piles..
in trails..
in interesting patterns and shapes...
Next week, we will be looking even more closely at the things we found and making detailed drawings and water colour paintings of them.
