Rob Scotton has quickly become one of our favourite authors. We think he's extra talented because he writes the stories AND does the illustrations. We love both characters from his books, Russell the Sheep and Splat the Cat. This week we read Love, Splat. Splat has a special valentine for a certain cat in his class. It's for Kitten, who Splat likes more than fish sticks and ice cream (that's A LOT for Splat). Then there's Spike, Splat's rival who is also competing for Kitten's attention. Does Splat's valentine find its way to Kitten's heart?
The kids painted Splat the Cat with black tempera paint and used a toothpick to create Splat's frizzy hair. Then, with pink, white and black chalk pastels they blended colours to add all the details. Didn't they turn out great?
This morning we transformed paper bags in to very pretty Valentine's Day mailboxes with hearts, hearts and more hearts. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
