The pupils began by looking again at the Gelede masks and reflecting on the different things that were represented on the top and bottom of them.

Tony then printed an example onto fabric where the lower part of the piece was a facial expression - a self portrait that reflected an aspect of character and personality, an insight into our spiritual self - and the upper part reflected interests, favoured possesions and things that meant a lot to us in the material world. The pupils had already examined some of these aspects with Sola when writing their acrostic poems.

The children then worked together with their partner from Kemnal discussing what they wished to be on their own page. Some drew their own pictures while others directed their partners.
