From April to August 2025, ever-growing herds of life-size puppet animals will stampede into cities across Africa and Europe to flee climate disaster. 'THE HERDS' is a public artwork on a scale never before attempted and will vividly dramatize the climate crisis. With support from Art Fund, @beachcreativecic joins 'THE HERDS' alongside 43 museums, galleries and historic houses across the UK, bringing artistic events, workshops and educational activities to local communities to inspire the next generation and deepen connections with the natural world. On Monday, the Art Ambassadors spent the afternoon creating a bison calf and 3D hedgehogs in collaboration with Beach Creative. These creations will be paraded during @hernebay.carnival on Saturday 9th August.

This week has been Mental Health Awareness Week, with the theme of 'Community'. We used the week as an opportunity to talk about the importance of community and the positive impact it has on our wellbeing.  Each year group visited an area in our local community and the children sketched something that stood out to them. We are going to use some of this artwork to create a collage of the community we are part of. Year 3: As a part of our mental health week activities around community, Year 3 took the opportunity to spend time in our local area thinking about the things that they appreciate. The Year 3 classes walked to the beach and to memorial park with their art books. They spent time in these local community spaces sketching things that the children appreciate. It was a valuable and peaceful time for the children to reflect on what they are grateful for in our local area.  Year 4: During Mental Health Week we read the story 'The Squirrels who Squabbled' in our reading lessons to help us consider how to work effectively with others. We took all classes to the Memorial Park where they sketched their surroundings and considered how they fit within their local community. Year 5: Year 5 used the book, 'The Invisible String' to help us recognise we are all connected in some way. We have discussed the different types of 'strings' we are connected with and how these differ between relationships. We also spent some time out in the local area to complete some artwork and grounding activities. Year 6: After a long week of SATs tests, Year 6 had an afternoon at the beach. We sketched our local community, focusing particularly what we appreciate: the beautiful views, the colourful houses, the places where we have special memories and the historic landmarks that make up our lovely town.
