Children’s work

Year 6

Children looked at the collage ‘Polynesia’ which means ‘the sea’. They made their own Interpretations of the collage using different images and colours.

• First the children decided on the colours they would use.

Then they cut out the rectangles or squares for the background and stuck them on.

Children then added silhouettes by drawing

animals and sea life creatures on white paper.

They then stuck them onto their collages.

• Lastly they made a border to go roundtheir pictures.
