Year 4 have been making observational drawings of linear patterns within natural objects. They used a view finder to select an area from an image of an onion, feather or wood grain, then chose appropriate media to enlarge and recreate the linear patterns.
In gymnastics, Year 6 have been working hard to create their own routines involving jumps, rolls and balances. Their focus has been on mirroring and matching a partner. They have had to work on different levels and try to replicate what their partner is doing.
