What do you think would make your role really fun for you to play? Maybe Grandma Josephine makes a creaking sound every time she moves? Maybe Ms Gloop speaks with a funny voice, or Violet always chews really loudly? It's your part to do what you like and we want you to have the most enjoyment you can!

Here is the list of materials that everyone will need for their Art workshop:

From home: 
Scissors

From your Week 1 pack: 
Your name label
Glue Stick
Felt tip pens

Your week 7 pack

and any remaining collage (coloured tissue paper and card) from your Week 4, 5 and 6 pack.
