Visiting the Underwater World Mural ​

Picture
To continue our research about our underwater background, today we took a walk across the street to the Hyde Elementary Underwater Mural. As soon as we got to the mural, Rainey A was abuzz with all the incredible creatures it features. ​
George: I see the starfish, Do you see the starfish?
Elle: Yeah, I see the starfish! And that stingray! That Stingray! 
Violet: Ooooh look a dolphin!
Elle: Yeah we can add a dolphin
Lochie: A bird that’s going in the water! See that bird going into the water 
Jessica: Lochie, I was wondering about the wings, is that a bird?
Elle: No, it's a flying fish! (gestures with arms that it’s flying) It has wings!
George: I see a crab
Marley: Do you see the turtle?
Elena: Oh Marley sees a turtle, where do you see the turtle?
Lochie: Oh its a tiny turtle, not like the sea turtle
Elle: It’s a baby turtle!
Lochie: Oh and a starfish!

But it wasn’t just about the creatures we saw, we also chatted about the background of the image.

Elena: What do you see behind the creatures? I see lots  of creatures, but what’s behind them?
Elle and Jack: Water
Lochie: Um water, blue water!
Jessica: Is it only blue?
Marley: Rainbow waves!
Lochie: Ooooh sand! 
Elle: Yes, red and yellow and red and yellow
Jessica: Is the yellow the water?
Lochie: No, its sand! 
Elena: What does the sand look like?
Lochie: Browwwwnnn, bumpy and flat!

When we got back to the classroom we discussed what we saw and how that could contribute to the work we were doing. Elle said it best when she remarked “we can add all the things they had!”. Other friends chimed in with their favorite parts of the piece. For Violet it was the dolphin and Jack the turtle. We can’t wait to see what our final design includes!
