We have studied self portraits of Picasso and Van Gogh. Lots of us enjoyed the colours and shapes Picasso used so we started to mimic some of these ideas. We started by tearing paper into different shapes to create a background ‘skin’. Some of us chose colours of a similar shade, while others used a wide range of colours. We then added facial features to our portraits. We’re really proud of the results!

As part of ‘No Pens Day’ Hazel Class are exploring 2D shapes using spaghetti. We decided it would be tricky to make a circle or oval without cooking it first, but had a good go at triangles, squares, rectangles, pentagons and hexagons. We worked with a partner and had to think carefully about the sides and corners in the shapes we made. Sometimes, we had to break up pieces of spaghetti as each side needed to be a different length. We found we could make ‘irregular’ shapes too!
