Lesson 1: LO: TBAT find local sculptures.

When you are walking around your local area, have a look at some of the sculptures you come across. Examples include the Princess Pocahontas statue and the Queen Elizabeth II statue. (This can instead be done by looking at photographs on the internet with adult permission if unable to leave house, or by looking at the example photographs.)

It may be useful to take a photograph of the sculpture to help with later lessons.
