Gecko colour wheel watercolour

We finally got some transparency paper so the girls could finish off the geckos they started a while ago. This was a really fun craft, as they had not done anything like this before. They made a colour wheel which went behind the picture and as they spin it the gecko changes colour. The transparency paper is for the geckos black markings.


On art day Eden also did a sketch of a Komodo Dragon, a reptile she is utterly fascinated with.

Studying Reptiles

It makes my job so easy when the children decide what they want to learn about next, I know what ever they have chosen they will have an appetite for it all of their own. They have already read all the library books I have got out on reptiles, and are learning more about the classification of animals too. Eden is desperate to have her own reptile as a pet, whether it be a lizard, snake or tortoise, she doesn't mind, she would just love to have one to observe.
We used a favourite craft - stained glass water colour. Eden did the drawings for everyone.
Eden is getting more artistic with her use of shades.
