In our new English text 'Slow Samson' by @bjchristou we found out Samson likes to make his friends happy by drawing pictures for them. To start our new term together, we made our friends happy by creating pictures for them.

I’m so glad to see that the drawing challenge @Clr_Collective is still going! I have such fond memories joining it often, 7 years ago, while I was at university. Here's my entry for this week's colour, Minium ✨
