A copy of the Half-Term Holiday Challenge will be sent home with your child on the last day of term.
This term, our holiday challenge is based around the Creative Arts.
Use the beautiful autumn colours to inspire a piece of artwork.
You may wish to gather some leaves of different colours and use them to make a picture. You could create a design in the style of Andy Goldsworthy using natural materials and take a photo to share with us. You could use paints in autumn colours to make a tree from your own handprints.
Conkers can be dipped in paint to make some interesting paintings!
Key Stage 2- you may wish to challenge yourselves by writing about your
colour and design choices. How would you improve your work next time?
Please return to your teacher by Wednesday 4th November. Please ensure your name and class are written on your work.
