Stepping into ‘The night cafe’

Through the eyes of G4 students / using prompt questions.

Students watched Inside Van Gogh’s painting (the night cafe) and imagined themselves in the cafe.

They used the lead questions we used earlier in the week to create their own poem.
Here are a few examples....
