An owl in a tree (Based on the Owl Babies)

We have been doing the Big Book 'Owl Babies' in English and for art this week we finger painted this entire forest scene of an owl in a tree at night. First we wet the entire page with water and we finger painted the background using orange and yellow paint. When the background was dry we finger painted the tree, bushes and the owl using black paint. When that was dry we added two large white eyes with black pupils. We added stars and the moon. They turned out great - have a look!!!

Knitting in Ms. Joyce's class

Maggie loves to knit and she is really good at it! She has kindly offered to teach any of us who want to learn how to do it. We practice our knitting whenever we have finished our work early and during lunch time on rainy days. Sometimes we even take it home! We really love it, maybe by the end of first class we will be able to knit some hats and scarves for next winter!
