Queen Sardine

China Class had a visit from Kate Willis-Crowley on Tuesday 17th March and they were all really inspired.  Kate showed us how she generates her ideas and she gave the children a challenge to create an expressive face with a set number of lines.

Here are the children's comments following her wonderful visit:
