GAP – Reception – Arctic polar bears & Thanksgiving Pumpkins

ABOUT ARCTIC ANIMALS
The ARCTIC is a region that covers the northernmost part of Earth. Northern CANADA is included in this usually cold, snow and ice-covered land. Arctic animals are special because they can live where
the summer is very short and the winter is long, dark and cold.

TED HARRISON (1925-2015) was a Canadian artist whose landscape paintings
were influenced by his surroundings in Canada.  The children created their own polar bear and landscape inspired by this amazing artist.

Thanksgiving is an American and Canadian holiday. It is celebrated to give thanks for the harvest and for the year ahead. 

Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated in many countries around the world.

The children did observational drawings of pumpkins and coloured them using chalk pastels.  As you can see, they did an amazing job!
