Eric Carle, Nursery's Special Author
The children have been listening to lots of stories by Eric Carle for Book Week. They have enjoyed painting pictures based on 'Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Can You See?' and 'Little Cloud.' The children have joined in with repeating refrains and rhyming words and some children even remembered the name of our special author!
The children suggested lots of ideas for cloud paintings including dinosaur, wolf and flower clouds as well as train and bus clouds. Many children looked carefully at the detail in the illustrations. Children counted legs on animals, identified colours and some mixed colours too. Nico explained, 'When you mix two colours you get a different colour.' He especially enjoyed experimenting with the paints. The children were proud of their pictures for the Book Week display.
