Year 5 Queen's Platinum Jubilee

During Art Week, Year 5 have been inspired by the book ‘The Day We Met the Queen’ by Onjali Q. Rauf, where a Syrian refugee and his friends are invited to tea at Buckingham Palace. We built on prior learning about using one point perspective to draw structural elements of the palace, based on 3 images. We also considered light sources, colour and shading to add further depth to our perspective drawings. In addition, we imagined that the Queen had written to us and invited us to participate in a competition to be part of the Jubilee celebrations. We replied using a formal letter structure and incorporated persuasive arguments to convince the reader that DBCPS was the best and most deserving school in the UK!
