Daffodils and tulips have been the stimulus in our art area so far this term and many of the children have enjoyed creating artwork using their observational skills. Most have preferred paint as their medium but, as you can see, some have used pens and craft materials to produce their Spring flowers. We love how some children have recreated what they saw but others have produced their own ideas of what flowers look like. If you click then click again on the photos you should be able to see who the artists are. I wonder if the children can find their own work?

Spring Flowers
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.

Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter
As we began to learn about Spring and growing, the children discussed the seasons and what happens at different times of the year.
Bethany: it snows in Winter and snowflakes come down.
Kailey: in Summer there’s loads of flowers and you get to go outside lots and I always go to Hoddom for a sleepover.
Freya: lambs grow on my birthday.
Theo: you can bash your cars in Autumn ’cause it’s bad weather.
Dan: you get Easter eggs in Spring.
Riley: you see flowers on the trees in Spring.
Zachary: trees grow in Summer.
Ava: flowers start to grow in Spring. We get blossom on the trees.
Ben: the water gets very deep in Winter.
The children are certainly beginning to show an understanding of the seasons. Hopefully they should be able to talk a little at home now about what happens in Spring.
Spring is Here
On our return to Nursery we have been learning about growth and the changes in spring. This has been reflected in the children’s paintings which have included lambs, chicks, trees full of blossom and some lovely daffodils. Maybe if we make enough pictures of spring, the weather will eventually realise what it’s meant to be doing?

Easter Egg Extravaganza
Eggs that had been transformed into bees, policemen, trains, rabbits … glittery eggs and painted eggs … the variety was amazing in our Easter egg display. Here’s a taster of some of the ideas brought in to Nursery. Well done to everyone who made such a fantastic effort – we loved them all.
