In English, children have written character portraits and missing scenes based upon Kenneth Grahame’s Wind in the Willows.  In their art lessons, they drew detailed line drawings of each of the characters before painting them with watercolours.

In early January, the whole school took part in a ‘British Values Day’.  In year 5, we focussed on the value of ‘the rule of law’ and looked at the statue of ‘the Lady Justice’ which is on top of the dome of the Old Bailey in London.  The children created portraits in a Cubist style that include the ‘balances of justice’ and ‘the sword of truth and punishment’.  The class used acrylic paints, oil pastels and various pens and pencils to complete their portraits.
