The paintings sent home today represent the children's responses to the Creation story in worship over the past three weeks. In the rolled bundle of paintings, you will see...
 |
| light out of darkness |
 |
the moon to rule the night
|
 |
| the waters above and the waters below |
 |
| fish |
 |
| animals |
 |
| and people in God's image. |
Some comments you might make to your child include, "Tell me about your fish!" "I wonder if this elephant is friendly/fierce/happy," "Do you think these waters are cold or cool or warm?" "I wonder what kind of brush you used for this part." You might ask your child where in your home they would like you to hang the paintings.
Many drawings and collages are collected in children's classroom portfolios and will go home at the end of the year, but paintings and sculptures are sent home periodically for you to display and enjoy!
