Fairytale Fun!



Dear Friends,
At last I have some felt to show you - these are new pieces I have been creating at Caulfield Grammar in Malvern and measure about 80 - 90cm wide. Each one represents a class from Grade 1 - 5 (there are two classes at each level).

We have had the best fun with a class spent on designing. Here the children all contribute to how they would like their story to look. I get all the children to draw the overall picture as well as
individual elements to complete the story. I then choose ones that I think would be great and the class vote on which ones will be used. Of course there is often a good deal of tweaking to be done!




Just in case you can't guess our fairytales - this one is Sleeping Beauty.
The first one is Hansel and Gretel




The 3 Billy Goats Gruff








Puss in Boots








Red Riding Hood










The 3 Little Pigs




There are also 3 others that are ENORMOUS! These include Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel

and the Princess and the Pea. I will get more pics of these when they're in position.

They will all be installed in the library and can be moved to any part of the school if needed.




Dozens and dozens of hours spent dyeing and organizing but isn't it worth it when have had SUCH fun!




I hope that whatever you are doing this week you are having the best time creating something sensational.


Love


Elizabeth
