This week the children in Mr Smyth’s Class created a display for our Sacred Space of “Times when I was considerate…” as part of Good Friends Week.

Check out the artwork of 3rd and 4th Class. They have been learning about Quentin Blake – the artist for many of Roald Dahl’s books. Here they recreated a picture of the Enormous Crocodile from the story of the same name.

This month’s Artist of the Month in Mr Smyth’s Class is Quentin Blake. The children have been looking at his work in his first collaboration with Roald Dahl in 1978, The Enormous Crocodile. The children have been discussing their feelings about a piece of his work and they have been sticking up little notes around the image with words and emojis to express how they feel about it. Today they began drawing their own version of the picture. Come back again soon to see their finished work!
