This term we have been learning about Joseph and his amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat in our RE sessions and we have been looking at Quentin Blake and his work as an illustrator.
Today we put these two skills together to create a Quentin Blake inspired Joseph.

BIG NEWS!!!

Roald Dahl week.

This week we have explored Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes, finding the differences between the Rhymes and the original story. We made grasshoppers, like in James and the Giant Peach and we made Nishnobblers like the ones in The Giraffe, The Pelly and me. What a lovely week! Thank you Year 3/4!
