This week, Year 3 were inspired by our reading text all about Sophia, a young girl who won an art competition and had her painting displayed next to the famous artist L.S. Lowry!
Throughout the week, we explored the writer’s choices in the text and discussed how these choices help us, as readers, to picture the story and feel inspired.
One pupil in particular was so moved by Sophia’s story that he decided to recreate one of L.S. Lowry’s iconic “Matchstick Men” paintings. His artwork truly captures Lowry’s unique style and we all think he’s done an amazing job!

Well done for showing such creativity and enthusiasm and well done to all of Year 3 for another fantastic week of reading, discussion, and imagination!
