We read the story about Elmer the patchwork elephant who wanted to be grey and fit in. He then realised that being his colourful and joking self was best. The children had the opportunity to choose different materials: pastels, sponge paint stamping, dabbing with cottonwool balls and cutting and pasting squares of paper. Their elephants turned out beautifully and unique! We all helped to build our number line to 20.
