Hallo from The Netherlands!

Mulberry class was transformed into Holland today during the special world cup day. The children learned that "The Netherlands" means "Low Lands" so there are so lots of windmills found across the country that help to prevent the land from flooding.
We spoke about Vincent Van Gogh, a famous painter who was born in Holland. The children worked hard to produce their own versions of his famous picture, "The Sunflowers". Featured below is the work produced by Abyan and Lola from Cherry and Ellis and Connor from Cedar. We learned that Van Gogh's original was last sold for more than $35 million... Perhaps the work the children produced today isn't worth quite that much, but they still look like they're worth a million dollars.
