Sketching

We have a book about John Muir which from time to time I read to the children. In it it described how John Muir used to make sketches in order to notice things more clearly and see more details. This inspired Rosie and she chose to spend her pocket money on a new sketch pad. She sketched a rose Bush in our garden and a tree in Walkmill. Rosie said it was true she did notice things more clearly! She said she noticed that some of the leaves on the rose bush were orange and red which she hadn't seen until she was making her sketch!
