Maple Class - Term 1

This week (commencing 7th Oct) we had a brilliant Anglo-Saxon week! We created beautiful art work of Anglo-Saxon villages using water colours. We spoke about how to make our water colours look different shades by adding more or less water. We also made fantastic Anglo-Saxons houses with our partners. We used cardboard which was painted and decorated with straw on the roof to reflect an Anglo-Saxon style of house.
