The children at Rainbow Nursery have continued their explorations into the production of creative banners with Sharon Stapleton, nursery assistant. Over several weeks, children also worked with an artist, Nicola Balfour, who supported and extended these learning opportunities.
Planned learning intentions
- To continue to be interested, excited and motivated to learn
- To sometimes give meanings to marks as they draw and paint
- To investigate objects and materials by using all of their senses as appropriate
- To explore and experience using a range of senses and movement
- To seek to make sense of what they see, hear, smell, touch and feel
Resources
Plastic sheeting; white sheet; hessian; common and unusual natural materials, such as leaves, twigs, sticks, ferns, cones, seeds, lichens, dried grass, flowers; food colouring; plant sprays; powder paint; camera; laminator; mark-making tools; additional resources suggested by the children during the project.
