As part of our EY Picture news activity about connections, where we learned that Catherine (The Princess of Wales) and her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis enjoy drawing pictures of each other when they spend time as a family, we drew portraits of our friends as a fun activity whilst spending time together.

Reception - An Alphabet of Fruits! Colour Mixing and Observational Painting

Following on from our World Book Day activities around the book 'Oliver's Fruit Salad', we have used our knowledge and the internet to research and find a different fruit for each of the letters of the alphabet!

We have then observed closely what these fruits look like, using the internet on the ipads, and painted an observational picture of the fruit from our selected letter of the alphabet!

We had to use our colour mixing skills that we have been developing over the year to paint them the correct colours.

Take a look.... They look fantastic!
