(February 2017)  Some of our Key Stage Two children entered a competition to design a set of superhero posters based on 'Learning Powers'.  Four designs were chosen - 'Resilient Rick', 'Independent Imogen', 'Collaborative Chloe' and 'Evaluative Eric'.  The quality of the artwork produced was outstanding and we are all thrilled with the final posters, which are now displayed in classrooms across school.

(February 2017) Our Key Stage One children have been busy investigating the Dutch artist Piet Mondrian at their Tuesday lunchtime art club with Mrs Newbury and Mrs Wilton.  They enjoyed recreating his paintings working with colour and texture and produced some fantastic results.  Each child received a very well deserved certificate!
