This week all the children have been involved in Sky Arts Week activities. Access All Arts week is an annual, nationwide arts week for primary schools across the UK and Ireland. From singing to painting, writing, moving and making – all activities are designed to spark creativity and inspire imaginations. The theme for this year was celebrating JOY. Keep your eye out for videos of dances and other creative work that will be uploaded to the website next week. The children will also be bringing home some of the amazing art work & poetry they have created – the boards in school are currently being filled with their wonderful creations.
