We had a fantastic World Book Day yesterday! We created our own story spoons based on characters from our favourite stories, then we shared our stories with each other. Some of us were even brave enough to share our stories with the whole class!

Art – Sculptures
In our art lessons we have been learning about sculpture. Today we looked at the sculptor Henry Moore. Henry Moore made sculptures of humans and human-like figures formed of simple shapes. We used pipe cleaners to make a mannequin, then we posed for each other and moved our mannequins to match the pose. We then sketched our mannequins in our art books, thinking carefully about the shape.
