Fantastic Florals in Year 1!

 This week in Year One, our focus text has been 'Katie and the Sunflowers'. Miss. Flanagan brought a bouquet of flowers in to class and the students used watercolour paint to create an observational painting. We focused on colour mixing to dsicover secondary colours. Then, students wrote sentences describing the flowers using amazing adjectives!

We linked this to our current IPC unit 'Green Fingers' as we are learning about the differences between garden plants and wild plants!

Great work Year One! We have some amazing artists!

"Flowers grow in the spring. Some garden flowers can grow inside" - Mia

"Wild flowers start to bloom in spring" - Gianni

"It was easier to paint flowers when I was looking at them" - Hannah
