'Brown bear, Brown Bear What do you see?'

In nursery we are looking at the book 'Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?.' We have read the story together and looked at all the different animals that the Brown Bear saw. The children have been working on their colour mixing skills and have created some beautiful paintings of the animals. The children have been reading the story to each other and writing some of the animals names independently using their phonic knowledge! Next week we are creating animals using different textures! Well done Nursery!
