Whats next? During October we will be drawing/painting our pets!
Please bring a photo (forward facing) into class of your pet. It doesn't have to be a dog, it doesn't have to be your own pet either. Children who own phones are allowed to work from them too.
Please make sure your child brings their photo in on Tuesday 6th, Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th
Thank you!

My biggest class is my Tuesday Teens, usually a very lively bunch, but this week, the first 15 minutes were spent almost in silence, as all we heard was the swishing of 10 paint brushes moving back and forth as they created the background for their paintings. 😇😇😇😇 😂😂

'100 years of Portsmouth' project Here is a selection of paintings and drawings from our project we did earlier this year.
The children all worked really hard with these and had a choice to work with Gouache, watercolour or pencil.
What do you think?
