This week in nursery we have started a new art project based on the painting 'Sunflwers' by Van Gough. We have been carefully looking at the painting she and sharing our thoughts and opinions on the art, then Seth to creating our own take on the painting though a collaborative piece of art. We have been using a variety of different yellow and brown materials to create a large scale, collaborative collage base design on the painting. We have also been planting our own sunflowers in the garden learning about how to grow flowers and plants. The children have been wanting to cook this week in the home corner so later in the week we set to making banana and sunflower cookies, developing our understanding of the process of cooking and applying our mathematical skills.
