For our final piece, Year created a double-page spread about the famous artist, Banksy. We took all of the skills we have acquired throughout the unit, looking at the techniques and meanings behind different artwork, and recreated Banksy’s most famous pieces on the styles we have looked at.

Year 6 completed their hour of code by creating a tennis game in Scratch. They had to crest backgrounds, sprites that move and sense and create a scoring system.
