Focus on John Burningham's artwork.
Key learning Intentions
To respond in a variety of ways to what they see, touch, hear and feel
To explore colour, texture, shape, form and space in two or three dimensions
Resources
Ideally, six copies of Oi! Get Off Our Train, but fewer will be sufficient as long as each child can see the pictures clearly and has space to pore over them
Preparation
* Look through the picture book yourself. Think about the kinds of techniques that John Burningham has used, and how he uses colour to create a variety of moods and to make an emotional impact on the reader. Think about the kinds of conversations that you might have with the children.
