4th graders chose the exact title of our 2014-2015 school project "Around the world on top of a plate" as a theme for their 2015 calendar. They also connected it to their classroom theme, where they are cooks.
We painted a sky with watercolours (they chose if they wanted a classic blue sky or a sunset sky) after having drawn a few white lines with crayons that will pop out of the watercoloured background. Having done this, they drew a hot air balloon which theu decorated with different lines and patterns and instead of making a basket, they drew a plate, a mug or a cup to put themselves in (perfect occasion to review some kitchen-related vocabulary). Meanwhile, we took pictures of them as if they were travelling in their painting hot air balloon (very fun moment, by the way!). When everything was ready (3 lessons), we cut the hot air balloon and pasted it on the background paper and then pasted out photo in the hot air balloon. To finish, we made some 2-D clouds to decorate our skies.
Here you are some examples if you'd like to see.
