Roland Leighton, British soldier and poet, died 23 Dec. 1915. His fiancée, Vera Brittain, dedicated her poem "Perhaps" to his memory. It speaks to those who struggle through the holidays in the wake of losing someone they loved: behindtheirlines.blogspot.com/2015/12/perh... #poetry #grief #FWW

We rounded off our term with the Year 1 @StocBolton classes applying the mark making skills that they have learned during the past few weeks. They created emotion colour monsters as part of these amazing collaborative art pieces #markmaking #feelings #colours
