  Today, year 6 found out about perspective drawing. We looked at the forefront and the background of some pictures and investigated how these items can be shown on the paper to look 3D. We looked at the lines on the drawing and how these can help to show perspective.

  PSHE - Being me in my world

  Posted by Mrs N Lawday

  As an introduction to PSHE this term, the children played bingo to find out who else in the classroom liked the same things as they did. Then they thought about their own goals for the year ahead, either in school or out of school. These will be displayed in class to keep reminding them of what they want to achieve.
