Grasshoppers Day Nursery children enjoy Tate Modern trip
There were learning experiences at every turn for children at Grasshoppers Day Nursery in Aylesbury as they embarked on a trip to London to visit the Tate Modern art gallery.
Having spent the summer exploring the works of renowned artists including Jackson Pollock, Wassily Kandinsky and Clement Greenberg, pre-schoolers from the Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ Day Nursery on Wendover Road were delighted to take the train from Stoke Mandeville to the capital, where they explored modern and contemporary art from around the world.
As part of the co-research experience, children enjoyed touring the gallery’s exhibits and using headphones to learn more about the artists, artwork and their techniques, before ending the day with a visit to the London Eye, where they marvelled at the iconic landmark.
Grasshoppers Day Nursery Quality Manager, Megen Prosper explained;
“It was incredible to see the children’s excitement as they connected the art they had been exploring in nursery with the real pieces at the Tate Modern. Experiences like this truly bring learning to life, inspiring curiosity, creativity and a deeper appreciation for art and culture. They returned full of ideas and enthusiasm to create their very own masterpieces.”
