Children in Need
This year we decided to hold a Bake Sale to fund-raise for Children in Need.
Icon Art
This week we were very lucky to have Father Daniel come into school to speak to Classes 3 and 4 about 'Iconography'. The children spoke with Father Daniel about our own religious art and were very interested to learn about icons and how they changed over the years, particularly within different religions. The children were very intrigued to learn that paint used in iconography can be made using eggs!

On Tuesday our Key Stage 2 children travelled to Westpoint to visit the Farmwise exhibition.
