This half term year 5 will be taking part in a six week Tameside Staying Safe Project. The children have been working with artist Sam Hull on staying safe around traffic.

Last week, the children learnt the rules of crossing the road: using stop, look, listen. They then made some eye-catching signs to encourage pedestrians to stop, look and listen before crossing the road.

This week the children looked at some new drawing techniques, and drawing to proportion. They worked really hard to produce some self and peer portraits, drawing cars and using some of these new drawing techniques to apply in their own artwork.

Year 5 have been really enthusiastic about the project, and are getting involved and giving everything a go. They are really looking forward to the next session. Stay tuned for more updates.
