The girls showed a great deal of interest in the flowers on our walk up to Mt St John last week. We brought some back to the classroom and I added some Daffodils the next day.
You can see from the girls drawings that they took a lot of care with their work, noticing that there
was a 'frilly bit in the middle. We talked about the stamens and how bees collected nectar and pollen from flowers so they can make honey for us.
This work took a lot of concentration and I was interested in how difficult the girls found when it came to drawing the leaves. I underestimated how challenging that was going to be. They were determined to get the leaves to the right width and length and for some it took a lot of trial and error.
Great persistence was shown until complete satisfaction was achieved.

Absolutely gorgeous daffodil paintings, I love them. Wonderful to notice nature, nature always gets colour combinations perfect.

The girls will love receiving your comments. The part they love the best is working out who said what!
