International Dot Day - 15th September

Inspired by Peter H Reynolds thought-provoking book, our children joined thousands of others up and down the country by celebrating Dot Day with our very own artistic projects. 

Chinese Paper Cutting 

To celebrate Chinese New Year, we explored some 'double happiness' traditional Chinese paper cuttings for decorating. 

Past Artistic Experiences

Art Day

10 children were selected from KS2 to take part in the Embark Federation Art Day at Smalley Richardson Endowed Primary School. Children took part in two workshops focusing on portraits and illustrations.

The portrait workshop was led by artist Sophie Edwards and the illustrations workshop was led by illustrator Lucy Truman.

Wow Day

All children in school took part in large sculpting activities with Steve Porter.
