Centenary of World War 1

Our poppy field was to commemorate the fallen soldiers in World War One.  Key Stage 2 pupils painted a poppy to be part of our commemorative display.  There were displayed outside in Katie's Garden throughout November and December.

 

 

 

Collaborative School Patchwork

During an Art Enrichment Day, pupils throughout the school were asked to produce a square of fabric for this patchwork display.  The theme was nature, as you can see there were lots of different ideas, ranging from animals and insects to plants and weather.

The patchwork is displayed in the Key Stage 2 Hall for everyone to see.
