In Year 6, we also looked at the picture, The Battle of San Romano by Uccello, as part of our Take One Picture work in school. We focused in on the people in the background, and tried to replicate one of the running men both in drawings (with movable legs, no less!) as well as in a PE lesson. We also used the painting to inspire us in writing, creating a range of lovely written pieces covering a large number of genres. Finally, we looked at the importance of flags and tried to understand why the flag in the painting was so prominent. We have made our own, large and fabulous Year 6 flag which will go up on display in school shortly. We used heraldry symbols to try to create our own mini flags within a flag!

Finally, thank you to everyone for all the lovely Christmas presents I received from everyone - I am so grateful. I am still trying to decide what to spend my voucher on (I I take ages deciding these things - it is the cause of much ‘debate’ in my house at the moment but I find that that is part of the fun of a voucher!!!) xx
