Our Y5 pupils have learned about the artefacts, images and symbols that we see in the coronation ceremony and in royal portraits and seals. Some of the items we see at the coronation have been used in coronation ceremonies for hundreds and hundreds of years. We were amazed!
We learned about royal portraits and how symbols, facial expressions and colours can have meaning as well as the symbolic meaning of different plants and animals.
Using all of our knowledge, we found images of King Charles we liked and set about making our own mixed media portraits to celebrate the coronation. They are still a work in progress but when they are finished, there will be hidden and hard to find meanings and symbols throughout.
