Peacocks in London

So far this has been a very uneventful half term, no exciting travelling occurring. Today Charne and I spent the day being tourists in London. First thing we did was catch the tube to St Paul's Cathedral. Nearby we saw Temple Bar, which is the only surviving gateway into the city and was built in 1672.

Summertime 9a- I was a bit excited about this painting, for an ICT lesson my children had to do their own version.

07 Matisse
Snail- Matisse moved from painting to arranging paper, because he could no longer paint. At a different school I worked at, the children imitated his work by tearing paper and arranging it in a spiral.
