Amazing artwork
Today, the children in school learnt all about Amelia Mary Earhart. She was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. 
After lots of discussion about Amelia’s heroic adventures, we had a go at drawing some pictures of her in an aircraft.
I’m sure you will agree that the sketches are superb!
Well done, Ewan, Bridget, Harman, Vedant, Shameeska, Jodie and Sam.
