Lowry Day
To round off our whole school profect on Lowry we held a Lowry day. We all came dressed as characters from the paintings of LSLowry. We were put into groups with one person from each class.
We had to create a scene from a Lowry painting using only newspaper and selllotape. We had great fun making the accessories! There were two winning teams, one for the best scene and one for the best team work.
