Shield of Arms
Art
Our finished shields.
In our art lessons, we have been learning all about Shields of Arms and Coats of Arms. We have really enjoyed researching the traditional colours and symbols used and what these represent. Over the next few weeks, we will be using papier mache to make our own Shield of Arms containing symbols and colours of things that are important to us.
Come back soon to see photos of our painted shields!
We have been using tissue paper to create shapes and to create a 3D effect on our shields
Today we have been using newspaper in strips and glue to papier-mâché our shields
Today we learnt all about the different colour families! We created the perfect colour to paint our shields by mixing our primary colours red, yellow and blue to create secondary and tertiary colours.

Design and Technology
In Autumn 2, we will be adapting our shield designs to make a Coat of Arms from felt. First, we will need to develop our sewing skills.
Exploring ways to join materials and practicing running stitch!
