Year 3 finished off their Africa topic with a week of art. In their topic they have learned all about the Big Five animals, what life is like in Africa, including the landscape, the traditions and the wildlife.

They then designed and created masks inspired by the film The Lion King. The designed their masks on paper first, before drawing their design and cutting out cardboard to create the manes. They then papier-mached the outside to harden it up.

Once the papier-mache was dry, they primed their masks by coating it in white paint, before painting it with their planned colours.
