Bushfire Paintings

Bushfire Paintings

By Jasmine and Meg

We have been thinking of those involved in the recent bushfires around NSW, particularly those in the Blue Mountains. On Wednesday 24th October Year 5 painted pictures of bushfires with burning trees. The background is made with red, orange, and yellow paint blended together. We used black oil pastels, white oil pastels and a lead or black pencil to make the trees. We used the white oil pastels to smudge the tree.

We also wrote prayers underneath about the fire brigade and those around them to keep  them safe. Here are some of the prayers:

Dear God,

Please help the people fighting the fire succeed. Please help the people who lost their homes, and protect the fire fighters and people who are near the fires.

Amen. By Tracey T

Dear God,

Without the Fire brigade there would probably probably already be hundreds dead, please help them to fight the fires and keep them and those around the fires safe.

Amen. By Meg B

Dear God,

Please help the fire brigade to stop the fires and keep all the people whose homes are threatened and gone to find a new home.

Amen. By Jasmine E

Dear God,

Thank you for the fire brigade please help them to stop the fires so that we can be safe and happy Amen.
