P2/3 Stars’ Starry Starry Night

Leave a reply

P2/3 have enjoyed working together to create a giant reproduction of van Gogh’s “Starry Starry Night” painting. The children used paper and oil pastels to create different textures and I’m sure you’ll agree, the result is impressive! We have been learning all about Van Gogh, his life and his painting style.

We have been very successfully growing sunflowers in our classroom this term. Already they are stretching high and reaching for all the sun we’ve had! Furthermore, we learned a bit about Vincent Van Gogh and recreated one of his most famous paintings ‘Sunflowers.’

Here are some examples of the wonderful sunflowers we painted and some very proud faces 😊
