A presenter was then allocated from each team to share their work with the class! 

During our art lessons, Y2 are studying George Seurat . This week we learnt about primary and secondary colours. We also learnt how to colour mix using paint. 

This week in nursery we have continued our transport themed learning. We have made 3D models of different vehicles using junk modelling and displayed these around nursery.
