sense of sight part 2

Backgrounds. we explore how the picture changes when we chnage the back ground and leave the same subject. I draw three simple identical houses and coloured in the same colour. I cut out pictures of different types of holidays destinations (woodland, seaside, Australia etc). I then glued each house on a background. I told M. that that was my house and that it was going on holiday. I showed her that my house was first in the woods, than it went to the seaside and then it went to the mountains. I asked her what remained the same throughtout the house journey and what kept on changing.

I then told her it was her turn to make her house go on holiday. She was really enthusiast about the activity. I let her choose the backgrounds she liked best from a few magazines, then I let her cut them out her self and glue her houses where she liked in the picture. She then made up different stories of why and how the house went to the different destinations.
