F2 children had a fantastic time celebrating Valentines Day! ❤️ Have a wonderful Half Term everyone!

Y3LJA - over the last couple of days in Art we have been exploring what Egyptian death masks look like and the colours used. We then learnt how to draw an eye in detail using different gradients of pencils before making our very own portrait of Tutankhamun’s death mask. We really have done some ...amazing sketching.

We’ve been feeling the love this week in Beginnings! ❤️ We have enjoyed lots of Valentine’s Day arts and crafts. We have also talked about all the people that we love by looking at our family photos and sharing lovely stories about our loved ones. ❤️🥰❤️
