Reception: Blue Penguin

January 26, 2022

Reception have been focusing on the book ‘Blue Penguin’ by Petr Horacek.


Following on from reading the story, we discussed the cold and lonely place that the penguin was in. This conversation inspired us to paint our own version of the story setting.  There were lots of stages, so it took all week to create our final masterpiece, but it was all worth it in the end!
