Saint Augustine Webster School Scunthorpe Mrs Dowse's Year 6 class St Francis RC Primary Peckham, London Mr Bould's Year 5-6 class

What We Did

We have e-mailed descriptions of our local area to each other and followed this with sketches and photographs of our scenes. The St Francis students did the Sketchbook Scenes activity, sketching views from the school playground, 'Over Our Wall', and then making the original sketches into fabric paintings. They sketched onto fabric and delineated the art work with masking tape before painting the fabric.

Work by Saint Augustine Webster students:

A scene from our window		Across the field
Beyond the fence		On the edge of our town
A green field not so far away		The warren
