October's Comic Art Masterclasses continued this week by keeping it close to home. Having ventured as far afield as the Isle of Wight, Twickenham, and Clevedon last week, these three schools were all very helpfully clustered in South Wales, within an hour of home.
At Plasyfelin Primary in Caerphilly, the 6-7 trend continues from last week. No I still don't quite know what it means, but if you say it and do a kind of shrug with your hands as if you're weighing a pair of melons, the kids think it's hilarious.
At Ysgol Y Lawnt in Rhymney (pronounced in the way that doesn't rhyme with chimney), the teachers all speak Welsh. Which, I hasten to add, the kids all very helpfully understand. Luckily they all speak English too, which they ably demonstrated by buying 14 copies of my Richard The Third, for which many thanks.
The week was rounded off with two Year 4 classes at Herbert Thompson Primary in Cardiff, where they produced these joyous little numbers. They had the comic I'd made with them last year still on the wall, along with the "treads on a worm" demonstration strip from last year too. Luckily none of the kids seemed to have memorised it as they saw none of the routine coming. Spookily and coincidentally they chose exactly the same celeb as last year, despite being a totally different group of kids.
The celebs these six groups chose to star in said demonstration strip were Ariana Grande, Cristiano Ronaldo (twice), Michael Jackson, Sabrina Carpenter, and Billie Eilish (that's the one that the same class had also chosen a year ago).
