Inspired by the work of Andy Goldsworthy, they ventured outdoors to collect natural materials and used them to create stunning temporary artworks, appreciating the beauty of nature and the concept of impermanence

To celebrate Saint Blaise Day on 3rd February, the children worked together to make beautiful stained-glass windows depicting his symbol of crossed candles.

The whole school have been producing artwork as part of a P.E.A.C.H. (Partnership for Education, Attainment and Children's Health) Art Competition. The theme is CHANGE and Tim Peake Class kept with their class space connection and looked to the night sky, carefully painting the phases of the moon to deepen their understanding of the changes in the lunar cycle.
