Our trip to the Quayside.

Before half term we went on a fantastic trip to the Quayside to finish off our topic about our local area. We walked along the Quayside, taking pictures and sketches of the local landmarks. We even got to see the Millennium bridge move for some boats, it was very cool! After that, we went up the the viewing platform in the Baltic art gallery and then drew another field sketch of the Baltic.
