This week, the Art Ambassadors were joined by Francis Ball - a keen artist and member of the University of Kent, Parkinson's Centre For Integrated Therapy.   Francis ran a workshop for our ambassadors on the art of collage. The children created some wonderful collages inspired by one of Francis' own works of the White Cliffs of Dover. Collage is a fun and accessible art form; it's a great way to upcycle magazines, newspapers and images into something creative and expressive.  The Art Ambassadors had an excellent afternoon and we are grateful to Francis for sharing his time and knowledge with our pupils!

Year 5 had a fantastic time visiting The Activity Box this week. Inspired by Ancient Greek pottery, the children designed and created their own unique vases using clay. Their creations will now be fired in the kiln and, as part of their Greek Day at the end of Term 6, the children will have the opportunity to paint them and take them home. A big thank you to the staff at The Activity Box — it was a wonderful experience that brought their Ancient Greek learning to life!
