The day the crayons quit

This fortnight our Big Idea is 'The day the crayons quit' by Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers. We will be using this to focus on colour recognition, mark making and mixing of colours. As well as lots of colourful activities, such as big scale painting and a different colour a day, we will be taking a trip to the post office or post box to send letters and decorating our path outside with various coloured chalks.
