Weeks ending
Friday 3rd May 2024
Dear Families,
For the past two weeks we have been learning all about colours. We have focused on colour mixing to make new colours and we have looked at the artist Claude Monet.
We have been using colours to create lots of artwork using painting, printing and drawing techniques. We especially enjoyed paint colour mixing because we were able to do lots of exploration of primary and secondary colours.
Have a lovely weekend,
Best wishes from the Nursery Team
