The sunflowers have been flowering bravely on the sides of the roads for weeks now, so I thought they would be a geat way to start our gardening focus now that the weather is cooler. Finding out what children know – the excitement of their knowledge and discoveries- and then learning how they make sense of new observations – we are all learners together in this endeavour. And observational drawing is very valuable to help us to really see what we think we already know.
