19th to 20th May
This is our Arts Week at school and we have been doing some art-based activities over the last couple of days.
We have looked at some of Escher's work and thought about perspective and tessellation before producing our own versions of one of Escher's prints. We have also finished our water colour painting unit of work. We painted a landscape with trees, trying to ensure colours appeared natural, composing the picture well and showing depth using perspective and shadows.
This afternoon we also had our usual PE session with the YMCA and our French lesson. Instead of PSHCE, we discussed the work of Monet and some other impressionist painters.
