Y4 have been exploring how artists work by creating their own visual notes — sketching, jotting, and mapping ideas to capture different processes and inspirations. A great way to think like an artist! 🎨🖊️

Whole school assembly today on ‘screen safety’ and how we can look after ourselves when using laptops, tablets and other devices with screens. We discussed body and screen positions and taking breaks. Nice to see some children changing screen positions in lesson after break 🤩. #wpspshe #wscomputing

Year 3 explored storytelling through sculpture! Inspired by Dirty Beasts they marbled paper with 'Brusho', then used it as a Base for their plasticine characters. Sketchbooks helped them turn words into 3D art, just like artists Rosie Hurley & Inbal Leitner. #ArtEd # StoryThroughArt #AccessArt
