Our Learning this Week
This week in Nursery we have been celebrating all things Welsh.
We have been practising our Welsh animal names for our Eisteddfod song.
We have looked at a painting by Welsh artist Ivor Davies called “Sky”. We created our own version of the painting by mixing glas (blue) and gwin (white) paints to make a blue sky and then we cut out white clouds to stick onto our sky. The results were beautiful.
We have looked at the Welsh emblems such as daffodils, leeks, and the Welsh flag.
We did observational drawings of the daffodil and we did mark making with leeks with was multi-sensory because the leeks had a very strong smell!
We listened to a Welsh folk tale about how the Draig Coch came to be on the Welsh flag. We then coloured our own flag.
We did an emblem hunt in the sand and found lots of pictures of daffodils, leeks, rugby balls and Welsh flags and when we had found them we counted how many we collected.
We also watched some traditional Welsh dancing in the interactive whiteboard and then had a go at some of the moves with a partner. I saw some fantastic dancing.
We finished the week with our Eisteddfod celebration
