Class 3 felt very proud painting a community art project for the police. We illustrated UNCRC Article 28, every child has a right to an education. UNCRC Article 31, every child has the right to relax, play and take part in a range of cultural and artistic activities and UNCRC Article 24, every child has the right to best possible health. Governments must work to provide best possible healthcare, clean water, nutritious food. We look forward to seeing the artwork on display in Chester-le-Street.

We looked at a range of intricate Anglo-Saxon patterns. We then used our sketch books to improve our mastery of art and design techniques by sketching our own Anglo-Saxon patterns. We used our patterns to create print blocks onto polystyrene. We were really pleased with our finished designs!
