Hello to all the children from Busby Nursery! We hope you have been having fun playing, learning, creating and exploring at home.
Have you seen any signs of Spring through your window?
Any birds building nests or looking for food?
Any leaves starting to grow on bare trees?
Any new Spring Flowers?

The famous artist David Hockney, who is 83, was busy drawing some beautiful daffodils on his iPad last week. Here is his picture:

Here is another huge painting he once did of trees in the Spring. It is the size of a whole room. Do you like the colours?

Why not try looking for some signs of Spring through your window or on your daily walk.  You could keep a notebook of them.

Lots of children have been drawing and painting beautiful rainbows and putting them in their windows. Perhaps you could also try painting some Spring flowers or trees to celebrate Spring. You could try using an iPad like Hockney if your family has one, or you could do it with pens, pencils, coloured paper or anything else you can think of.  Let’s make a Spring Gallery. You can share your pictures on Busby Primary and ELCC Twitter.
