Sunflowers everywhere!

What a lovely week we have had exploring sunflowers. We have focused on these questions:
What is a Sunflower?
Do all sunflowers look the same?
Where do they grow?
Where can we find out about sunflowers?
Using newspaper, we made our own plant pots and planted a sunflower seed. We will be watching them grow over the coming weeks.
On Wednesday, we looked at the artist Vincent Van Gogh. We used oil pastels to replicate different paintings that he did throughout his life. Also, we used watercolours to paint a dream that we had as Vincent Van Gogh once said "I dream my painting, then I paint my dream.".
As a class, we drew sunflowers on colourful paper and then attached them to create a collection of sunflowers, which were one of Vincent's favourite flowers.
Why not try to spot some sunflowers over the weekend? Have a lovely rest and see you for our last week of the half term next week!
