ARTS AND CRAFTS: THE GINGERBREAD MAN

Look at the gingerbread man pictures we found on internet . We are using them as models

to make our own creations.





November:

ARTS and CRAFTS: MAKING A MONSTER

This is how we prepared ourselves to create a monster.

 First, we created our own monster using  British council kids web page. This was a great fun because we were able to come up with different creations and we also learned how to use the PC tablet.

Then, each group had to agree on the monster we wanted to make. We  drew a picture to show our monster creation.

After that, we painted our monster and we decided a name for it.

   We also wrote up sentences to describe our monster.

Last, we introduced our monster to our classmates.
