You may have noticed that the children’s work is beginning to appear on the walls in Nursery and the corridor. Most have now produced their first drawing or painting and here is a little sample of their efforts. I wonder if the children can find their own drawing? If they are not sure, click then click again on the photo and you should be able to see their names.
Some super pieces of artwork have been done by the children, inspired by their learning about minibeasts. A wide range of materials was used in Nursery to produce butterflies, caterpillars and ladybirds. The butterflies designed at home also look fantastic and it’s great to see how different they all look. We hope that you enjoy this selection but there are lots more to see on display in Nursery and in the corridor near the school office.

Bethany’s family is impressed with the sunflower pictures:
“What wonderful sunflower pictures! I can’t wait to see the real sunflowers when they grow!”
I wonder if anyone’s sunflower seed has started to sprout yet? We hope that you are remembering how to look after them boys and girls.
Carmen’s Mum was impressed with everyone’s sunflowers:
“Aw this is right down Carmen’s street. She just loves drawing pictures of flowers. She loves to pick them too and brings them to me with a smile. How can I refuse, even tho I’ve not got many flowers left in the garden after Carmen’s been. Lovely display of pictures here. Well done boys and girls they look great.”
Carmen does loves flowers. We’ve noticed that too. Well done everyone with your super artwork.
As promised, we have a small selection of the children’s sunflower art inspired by their work on Vincent Van Gogh. As you can see they chose a range of resources in the art and craft area, including actual sunflower seeds, but we think that they all look fantastic. You can see lots more sunflowers on display in both Nursery rooms.
Vincent Van Gogh is the latest artist that the children have learning about and to get a taste of his work we looked at “Sunflowers” and “Starry Night”. The children talked about what they liked in his paintings and which painting they preferred.
Bethany: I like “Starry Night” best ’cause it has lots of stars on it. It’s funny that it’s a yellow moon – it should be white.
Dan: I like “Sunflowers” best ’cause it’s got nice colours.
Riley: I like the vase in the “Sunflowers”
Kailey: “Starry Night” is best ’cause it’s colourful.
Freya: I like the “Sunflowers” one best ’cause I like sunflowers.
Theo: I like the blue bits in the middle of the sunflowers.
The children also produced their own artwork using Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” as inspiration. Have a look in Nursery and you can see their super efforts. We will put photos of their art work here soon.
Like us, Carmen’s Mum loved her art work:
“When I saw this picture I was really very impressed. Well done Carmen. It’s proudly displayed in our hallway. Carmen loves flowers. Tom and Carmen were playing in the garden and I saw them putting flowers into a bucket and filling it with water, I asked what they were doing they replied making perfume!”
That’s brought a few memories back from our youth – making perfume with petals in the garden. It was a super picture Carmen and all your own idea to use the sweet wrappers. Well done!
Since the start of term we have been learning about Spring, growth and new life and the children have used a range of materials to produce some beautiful Spring flowers in the art area to brighten up our Nursery walls.

Having visited lots of places in our local community last term, some of the children decided that they wanted to make a big picture of our town. They worked very well as a team, discussing what they wanted in their display and produced a fantastic, colourful frieze which has brightened up the Nursery. Well done boys and girls for thinking of a super idea that the Nursery staff had not planned.
Please click on the photos to see the pictures more clearly.
Inspired by our visits out to the community and visitors to Nursery, the children have been taking their learning about various jobs into the art and drawing/writing areas. Some very good work has been produced and a colourful selection is now on display in the school corridor. We are delighted that some of the children have shown great interest in adding writing to their work which hopefully you can see from some of the photos below.
Anyone who is coming to our Literacy workshops and parent consultations on Monday 31st March can have a closer look (our display is opposite Mrs.Alexander’s office) but in the meantime here are some examples to enjoy.
