Meet Elmer


This week Grade 1/2 looked at colour and pattern from the perspective of a unique elephant named Elmer. Elmer was different from the other elephants because he was not grey but covered in bright and colourful patterns. The story provided the perfect context for a discussion about how colour can be used to express our individuality. To practice doing just that, each student then designed their own Elmer for display in the classroom to show off their own colours and patterns.  This activity was also extended to an ICT lesson, where Grade 1/2 experimented with Microsoft Paint to produce a digital version of Elmer.
