On Thursday 7th November, Year 2 travelled into London to visit the National Portrait Gallery near Trafalgar Square.
The children took part in a free workshop about portraits and had a superb guide who helped them learn about specific portraits and the paints and techniques used. The children were able to draw their own version of one of the portraits and go crazy with colour by tracing over another.
Afterwards, we walked into Trafalgar Square to have our lunch and soak up the atmosphere and wonderful views.
