Year 5 Africa Project







Year 5's topic this term was Africa, and in our art lessons they have looked at pattern and symbols in African fabrics and created their own beautiful patterns...









... and looked at Adinkra fabrics from Ghana. These fabrics are made up of many different symbols, all of which have special meaning for the wearer.



They made some beautiful drawings of African animals...











...and made wonderful collaborative maps of the African continent using paint, print and typography skills.

This is 5M's map:
