Drawn to Antarctica ❄️

Back to News
2nd Feb 2026

P3 have been very creative in Activity Based Learning. 

They followed instructions to draw a comic-style penguin and made clay model penguins! 

Then they looked at some pictures by the artist Frances Hatch who visited the Antarctic for two weeks to experience this amazing continent. 

The children used crayons to draw a picture of penguins on the Antarctic following her style of work and thinking about movement and perspective. 

They also discussed her work, talking like an artist! 

We have lots of budding artists in P3! 🌟
