It has been a short but exciting week for us in P4/5.

We began to learn about various instruments from the ‘string family’ and even got to select  an instrument for ourselves that we will learn to play over the coming weeks and months.

We chose a variety of string instruments including viola, cello, violins and a double bass!

We learned about the parts of each instruments, how to hold them correctly and the rest positions. Check us out!

We also got to work creating close – up portraits of ‘The Trunchbull’. We used the visual elements of line and talked lots about expression to create these gruesome portraits of the villain from our novel.  Have a look at how they turned out.
