Hey! Dear You!
In order to understand the foreign pen pals well, the headteacher Miss Diao Yangyang led the students to visit the website of Sneinton C of E Primary School before doing the second project. They also visited the website of Dear You for the first time art works and creative process of the British children.
The children are very excited when they read the news. They had a lot of questions to ask their foreign friends, such as: What do they learn at school? How to have classes? Do they have homework? What do they usually eat for lunch? What animals are in their city?
After that, the children began to discuss in groups, thinking how to express their questions in art form. Some children thought to make greeting cards, hiding the question paper in them; some wanted to write down the questions with brush pens; some wanted to use the form of the combination of paper-cut and painting ; some chose to write the questions on the origami etc.
After discussing and defining their own artistic expression, the children came home and turned their problems into a piece of art with appropriate materials.
Best wishes,
Lisa
