We LOVED reading the BFG in block 1. We tried to imagine what Giant Country would look like using the description in the text to help us. ‘The ground was flat and pale yellow.’

‘Great lumps of blue rock were scattered around.’

‘Dead trees stood everywhere like skeletons.’

‘The mountain was dark blue.’

We mixed shades of yellow & blue to create our background. Once they had dried, we added skeleton trees using charcoal. We cut out rocks and mountains from our blue painted paper. Finally, we added a pencil drawing we had done of the BFG. We think we’ve done a great job of re-creating Giant Country. Thanks to Mrs Ryalls for her brilliant display skills!
