This week we have created our own pheasant catching tricks, inspired by Roald Dahl’s ‘Danny Champion of the World’. We worked in groups to analyse the tricks in the book and used this to make our own to present to the class. @cwprimary

We created our own interpretations of the Queen’s diamond jubilee portrait from 2012. We chose to use the techniques we have practised in class, focusing on using different shading elements to add depth and detail. Come and have a look at our artwork on the school railings! 👑
