ART
Inspired by the illustrations in David Wesiner's book, we learned drawing skills using a range of pencils and painting skills using watercolours to create different effects. We combined these skills to produce a watercolour wash background with pencil detail foreground. We hope you enjoy our illustrations for the book Tuesday.
Democracy In Action!
Today, we considered how we would improve our school. We worked in groups to form a party and discussed issues such as changing homework, uniforms, reading in school and class rewards! We created a name and logo for our party and prepared reasons to back up our manifesto. After confidently presenting our case to the class, we all took part in a private ballot to vote for the winner!
