Lydia's entry into Eric's DIY book


My initial understanding of Eric's theme was to use found objects to create our own pages. I may have misunderstood this slightly, but it led to me reusing some art made by my students.  One of the privileges of teaching very young children is that they tend to love and adore you (whatever you have to offer). Through the school year my little friends have bestowed me with many tokens of their love in the form of drawings.  I have collected these by sticking them up on the cupboard next to my classroom desk.  When I started thinking about what to do for Eric's book, I thought I would use these drawing to create some pages.  I have cut out and stuck my favorite pieces together and worked on top of them with pens and pencils.  Thanks to little French/Cambodian Chloe and Spanish Elena for their contributions to my entry.

This was a quick way to keep up with the rotation and make sure Angela had something to take with her on her new start in Cornwall. I wonder what inspiration your new environment will bring Ang, we'll look forward to seeing evidence of it in our books - good luck!!
