On Friday 4th March, Year 5 went to Beamish. Our focus was on sketching what we saw, but the weather made that difficult! We went to see Norman Cornish’s house (an artist we have been studying in school) and enjoyed looking at the house that he lived in and did a lot of his art in. All of the children had a wonderful day (despite the weather) and asked the experts some fantastic, relevant questions which meant that they really got the most out of their day. We did a typical Victorian pose on some of the photos – we didn’t smile. That was because you had to stand still in your ‘pose’ for a whole minute without moving before the photo was taken, so a straight face was easier to keep than a smiling one. Can you spot the photos where we are doing this?
