Self Portraits

To start our Inquiry unit, we have been looking at the history of our names. We have all enjoyed sharing how our names were chosen and what they mean. We will be presenting this information for everyone to enjoy.

Thank you for helping your children gather this information. 

We have also been creating self-portraits. Here is what the students have said about the activity:

Yesterday Mrs Homer took our photos. She cut our faces in half and then showed us how to draw the other side. She said that it wouldn't be perfectly the same. After she showed us we started.

Here are some photos of us working on our portraits.

Today Mrs Linehan helped us finish our pictures and then we got in pairs and talked about them. Our partners suggested some things we could do to make them even better.

Here are some of the finished portraits.

These are our thoughts about our pictures:

"I tried very hard." Emma B.

"I like the way I drew my face." Marian

"It was really good fun." Jack H.

"I love my portrait just how it is." Petra
