Dom’s VE Day celebrations and some fab science work

We’ve had a great update from a very busy Berry household!  Dom has shared some lovely photos of his VE Day preparations – excellent use of cereal boxes to make hats! He has also researched the life cycle of toucans before completing an online art lesson to complete this brilliant drawing.  One of my favourite types of bird Dom.

Max’s stunning art

Max has been very busy at home creating some beautiful artwork using gouache paints painted onto a canvas. He has told me how he was inspired by the current situation and the dots represent all of the people who are far apart.

I think Max has done brilliantly with this. How does his art make you feel? It makes me feel calm and happy which are important emotions to develop at this time..

Thank you Max!
