Apologies if you have already completed this lesson. I did make my changes to last week's lesson before scheduled on the timetable, but I know a few of you were very organised in getting your learning completed. If you have already completed this week's task, maybe you could try and complete a potrait in one of the other styles that we evaluated two weeks ago:
This week we are continuing our artist study of M.C. Escher and using his 'Hand with Reflecting Sphere' as our inspiration.
L/O: I am able to draw a reflected image
I can remember to -
- choose a reflective utensil
- draw your hand and the utensil
- draw yourself and your surroundings inside the utensil
When you have finished your artwork, you can share a photo of your work here
First thing that we need to focus on is how to draw your hands. Here is another amazing Escher drawing, which focuses on his hands:
Use the drawing tutorial to help you learn how to draw a hand:
Here are some examples of how people have used Escher's self portrait to inspire their own artwork
Great focus!
Wonderful works of art!
Really clear detail!
The hand you have drawn is so lifelike. It contrasts perfectly with the funny panda! 🐼
Great use of colour!
Well done!

Pancake Day (or Shrove Tuesday) is on Tuesday 16th February. This day is a Christian Holy Day that marks the first day of Lent and will be celebrated by many in February half term. So, I thought as our last PE lesson before the holidays we would get active with some pancake flipping movements.
**Make sure you have lots of space**
**Also, please do not use real pancakes in this video**
I told you it was tricky! It looks like you're having a lot of fun here 😁🍴
Scientists study earthquakes so we can understand them better and hopefully one day predict them so we can save thousands of lives. A seismograph is a tool scientists use to record earthquakes and measure their strength.
You can build your own seismograph using simple materials!
You will need:
a medium-sized cardboard box
a paper or plastic cup (you could also use a toilet roll!)
string
a felt tip pen
scissors
a piece of paper
tape
coins, marbles, small rocks, or other small, heavy objects to use as weights
another person to help :)
Watch the video below to find out how to make your seismograph:
