The Great Wave

 Today we looked at the work of a Japanese artist, Hokusai, who spent his whole life sketching, painting and drawing.Hokusai is famous for his collection called “36 views of Mt Fuji”.

We used the thinking routine called “See, Think, Wonder”.

Here are some examples MrsP wrote down at the start of the lesson:

“I see the volcano.

I think it has erupted.

I wonder if that’s what caused the tsunami.”  Moustapha

“I see the wave towering over the boat.

I think it looks like a monster.

I wonder if it’s angry at the people.” Sokeina

Please leave your thoughts in the comments using this thinking routine:

I see……

I think ……

I wonder ……..
