Welcome to the final week of the school year- what a different year it has been!

Usually in the final week, we would be doing lots of transition activities to prepare you for the next school year. So, the home learning this week will focus on this rather than the set home learning we’ve been doing throughout the COVID-19 situation.

Today, I would like you to watch this clip and read the notes on how to draw a self-portrait. I also like this idea where you use the full length of the paper to draw half a portrait. Play around and get creative with your self- portrait!

Underneath your portrait, write a caption all about yourself.

Please email me your final drawings: nataliebeatson@spherefederation.org
