As well as learning about Chinese New Year, this week we have begun\"\"<\/a> an\u00a0exciting project to design a mural for our garden wall as the current one is looking a little faded. As a local artist, Rory\u2019s Mum has very kindly agreed to help the children plan a design reflecting their ideas. After an initial discussion with the children this week, she and Rory\u2019s Dad will work with staff and the children to make a scrapbook of their ideas. She will then create a design for the garden wall based on the children\u2019s ideas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jana uses lots of different tools to paint.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It was so exciting for the children to meet a real artist and talk about where her ideas come from and what tools she uses to paint.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We loved all the pictures that she collects to help her – a row of pandas, a flowery dress, a child playing in the sea, a laughing dog, one huge eye and a road full of bikes. We hope that the children will be able to bring in pictures of things they like, to contribute to our scrapbook. It might be drawings, cuttings from newspapers or magazines, photos, pieces of ribbon or material, even a photos of a pattern on their Mum\u2019s skirt – simply anything that they like.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is a very exciting project for us and we are delighted that Jana is willing\u00a0to\u00a0help us with it. We greatly appreciate the time and effort that she will be putting in to help us with this plan and look forward to lots of ideas from our children and their families. This design will be in the Nursery garden for a long time so it is important that everyone has a say in how it looks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
