When we read 'The Wheels on the Bus' by Jan Ormerod, we thought the bus looked great being painted like a zebra!
Inspired by this, we talked about what it would be like if we could create our own wonderful colourful wheels . . .
We introduced the technique of batik and each child drew their own design between the 'spokes'.
This was then traced over with gold gutta and left to dry.
We needed a very steady hand as we added our choice of colours using silk paints!
Do you like the finished results?
Some of us also explored a paint programme on the computer and created our own 'spinning' wheels!
We think they look wonderful - we hope you do too!
Well done they all look wonder full
