The theme of Art week this week was Movement.

Every day the children spent time exploring drawing in their Art Week Booklet. Each class was also set a specific Art activity to complete by Friday.

Assembly

Every morning is Assembly the children responded to a painting or sculpture stimulus during Art appreciation and interpretation sessions.
