Last week Year 1 had a fabulous visit from author and illustrator Liz Million. She taught us lots about how she draws illustations for stories and showed us how to create characters with simple shapes like a taco, a chicken nugget and even a potato!
The children followed along as Liz taught us how to draw characters from the traditional tale Hansel and Gretel.
We had so much fun and created amazing illustrations!
