The children have been learning all about the Japanese artist Yakoi Masuma. She paints pictures and makes models, covering everything in dots.
They have spent this week making their own models using clay, junk and paper mache. They will be decorating them in the style of Yakoi next week.
The 2 year old children have been exploring the colour brown. They made some fantastic hand-print owls and hedgehogs.
