This week we have studied two artistic movements. First we looked at Pop art and created our own versions using the Arc De Triumphe. Then we studied Impressionism and the work of Henri Matisse and created portraits in a similar style. We thought carefully about tint, tone, shade and hue when we were painting.
This week we have revised everything we have learnt in French over the year. We then used these skills to have full conversations in French with a partner. We also played a French board game and listened to French songs.
