Five-year-old children are the turtle class. For this reason, in English lessons, we are learning about the four most famous turtles: the Ninja turtles. Moreover, they have discovered there are female ninja turtles, too.
The turtles are named by the most famous Italian Renaissance artists: LEONARDO, MICHELANGELO, RAPHAEL and DONATELLO.
We started working with the Vitruvian Man pretending to be Leonardo Da Vinci creating our self-vitruvian portraits using our body and shapes such as circles and squares.

We created buildings like Michelangelo did in the past. Here you can see how we used shapes to create different kinds of buildings: individually, in small groups and the whole class.
First day, we worked individually:
Second class, children created in small groups:
The last day, the whole class helped with the huge building!
During the following weeks, we will show you what we are going to do as Raphael and Donatello did.
We hope you like our work as much as we love it! 😉
