Quentin Blake Creations in 3rd Class

As Mr Smyth’s 3rd Class are reading the novel “James and the Giant Peach” written by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake, the children have spent September learning about the artistic drawing style of Quentin Blake.

Today, they completed their own imaginative character based on the style of Blake and painted in the style Blake would use. You can learn more about Quentin Blake here: https://quentinblake.com/

They carried out two fun scavenger hunts. They also took some time to discuss Living Things in the area as part of our Science topic this month, such as different tree types, potatoes growing in the garden and much more.
