Visit from Worthing Museum - lots of interesting Roman artefacts!
We kicked off our 'Exploring Pattern' unit by looking at the work of Gillian Adair Mcfarland. We took inspiration from her pictures created by making holes in paper. Using a needle, pin and a soft carpet tile we all made very individual pictures. The pictures were quite sensory (reminded us of Braille) and looked different depending on which side you looked at. Very calming and different!
