Well done for a fantastic Spring Term Reception!

​Today is the Independence Day of Bangladesh. We learnt about how the people of Bangladesh celebrate on this day in lots of different ways.

As a school, we decided to think about interesting and inspirational people from Bangladesh.

​Abdus Shakhoor is a Bengali painter. He uses bright colours in his work and likes to tell stories through his art. Abdus also includes a variety of animals in his paintings.

Today in school we looked closely at some of his work, and used his technique of making dots on the paper to create a background.

Your learning for this Friday afternoon is to finish your Abdus Shakhoor inspired artwork! Look carefully at the examples of his paintings below and then draw your chosen animal or character onto your background. You may even want to practise drawing your animal first before - some of us did this today, too!

Lucy used felt tips to add the characters to hers. Can you see which animals and plants she drew?

Remember to upload your wonderful learning to Tapestry!

I hope everyone has a restful break, and look forward to seeing you in the Summer Term.
