The Big Draw in Year 3/4

Lower Key Stage 2 (Years 3 and 4) illustrated “Room on the Broom” by Julia Donaldson.  In the hall, they plotted the journey of the witch and her companions.  They worked in teams to draw fields, forests, moors and mountains, rivers and reeds. Back in class, 3/4T and 3/4M were set the task of illustrating the story.  The events in the book were typed up and the children got to pick, lottery-style which event they would have to draw. When displayed in sequence the pictures were to tell the story.  Mrs. Brook’s class painted large-scale illustrations of the characters and props that were in the story on old cardboard boxes to show that we don’t always have to paint on paper.  They added detail with collage.
