The children of Cockfield Primary School nursery class have been exploring work by the artist Monet before creating their own versions of his painting 'Waterlilies'.
This activity has helped the children learn to express ideas, create sequences and design a colourful display using a range of materials, shapes and textures.
Planned learning intentions
To continue to be interested, excited and motivated to learn
To use talk to organise, sequence and clarify thinking, ideas, feelings and events
To explore colour, texture, shape, form and space in two or three dimensions
