In writing we have been learning to think about the writers point of view. We are reading the book"the folk of the far away tree" by Enid Blyton in class. The book is about a little girl called Connie whose mother is ill so she is sent to live with her Mothers friend and her children Jo, Bessie and Franny. The children show her the Far away tree and to begin with she doesn't believe them.
We have been talking about how Connie might have felt and what she would have said to her mother. We decided to write a post card from Connie to her mother, trying to think about what Connie would say.
During our Te Tuhi workshop "Creative Stories" we learnt about the different ways a story can be told. We explored our story "The Lorax" through role play and then created our own poster.
I had to practice using different line and blending techniques to create a realistic looking giraffe. I found it easy to follow the teachers instructions to create the giraffe shape. It was difficult to keep all the parts in perspective. Next time I will try harder to use blending to show dark and light.
