@DarrellWakelam The children in Year 3 and Year 5 have thoroughly enjoyed this week - thank you so much. Such great art work, such great learning.

I've had a great visit up to @MonkspathSchool this week where the Yr 3 and Yr 5 kids have been busy creating these 'religious buildings' for display. As you can imagine, they've enjoyed this, and it's encouraged a lot of discussion and sharing. 🙂 darrellwakelam.com

I’m up at Monkspath Primary this week helping Year 3 & 5 kids to make some large religious buildings. I always think this works best in relief, so we are building ‘out’. Lots more to do, but already looking exciting. darrellwakelam.com

I know folks like to see a bit of the process 🧐 . . . so here’s some shots of today’s work on our religious buildings. Year 5 have been adding 3D elements and collage details. 👍 We’ll start to add colour tomorrow. darrellwakelam.com
