Lighthouse Poetry & Art

A couple of times a year, I like to use a poem as inspiration for my Art lesson.
The Lighthouse by CJ Heck is a favourite of mine and the children really like it too.

This year, the children performed the poem after practicing it in groups during English Station Teaching. They added actions and some interesting props!

We then used the poem as our inspiration for two art lessons. The first was a clay lesson to create a lighthouse setting. After the clay dried, the children painted the lighthouses.

We also used pastels, wallpapers and crepe paper to create lighthouse scenes.
