Janine worked with all 9 classes including nursery through to year 2 (4 - 7 years).
The theme was African plants and animals and the final pieces make a long term display across three large assembly hall windows.  We started with drawing exercises in charcoal and pastel.  Then the youngest children made leaves and the older ones animals, birds and reptiles in wire and wet strength tissue.
