Firebird

Today, the children have created wonderful pictures using pastels and tissues paper. We have been reading a book called 'Firebird'  which is based on Russian folklore.  We also  listened to Igor Stravinsky's well known, related  piece of music ( also called 'The Firebird) so that the children  could think of the different emotions and actions of the Firebird throughout the story. They used this and the description from the book to make their own version of the firebird.
