ITALY

Children are learning about Italy this spring term 2.We have 'Us borne book of famous paintings' which we borrowed from our library which is very good to learn about the nature of different famous paintings. So fascinated to read about Leonardo Da vinci; he was an artist, scientist, dreamer...kids are sketching Mona Lisa; then we come to know that this famous work is now in Louvre Museum , France . Theresu is learning  'A'. She started  scribbling lines bit more; more of  like circles and shapes. Theresu is now 3.
