We had a fantastic The Yoto Carnegies illustration session this week with Clough Head School from The Heights Federation. The group took on Catherine Rayner 's illustrator's challenge by building and drawing their own bowers, based on the book The Bowerbird. We think Bert would approve!

This week in our The Yoto Carnegies sessions, we assessed the illustrations in The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish and ended by rising to Chloe Savage’s challenge to draw the biggest jellyfish we could, on the school playground! What majestic giant jellyfish they are! #Art

In our The Yoto Carnegies meeting this morning, we had a fantastic session exploring and discussing the characters in the shortlist. Shadowers had the chance to note down thoughts, which we'll add to our shadowing display. Bottisham VC
