Cherry Blossom Art

The children in Year 6 and Year 7 completed some art based around the cherry blossom from their topic of Japan.

The children were learning about the national flower of Japan, the cherry blossom – or Sakura. The cherry blossom represents a time of renewal and optimism. The pops of pink mark the ending of winter and signify the beginning of spring. Due to their quick blooming season, cherry blossoms also symbolise the transience of life, a major theme in Buddhism.

The children worked really hard on their pieces of art and we can wait to see the finished pieces.
