Why do you think so much time was spent on decorating it? Today I would like you to choose a letter from our alphabet and see if you can create a beautifully decorated one just like the Lindisfarne example. Take your time!

Art: Have a look at the this painting. How does the painting make you feel? Can you answer these questions:
What can you see in this painting?
How many different groups of people can you see?
Why are they wearing uniforms?
Why do we all wear the same uniform? How does it connect us?
Where do you think they are? Why?
What about the main group, in the centre? How many are there? What do you notice
about them?
Is anyone in the group different and why?
What about the group lying down, why are they there and what might they be waiting for?
Your next task is to try to recreate the painting but in your own style. You can use any art resources that you have at home.
Don't forget to put a photo of the finished creation on Dojo!!

Choose a couple of your highlighted lines and see if you can make them even better...are there different adjectives that you could add?

Have you been to any special family events like a wedding or a party to celebrate a special birthday? Remember to include holidays you might have been on. Don't forget about your first day at school!
Your challenge is to create a map of your life journey so far. Draw the key events in the order they happened and remember to write what each one is.
