4A Artists!, by Miss Lewis

4A took to our beautiful centinery gardens to paint some Monet-inspired artworks.
We explored Monet's work and the Impressionism style, then created colour wheels using primary, secondary and tertiary watercolours. After this, we used a variety of brushes to create different strokes to represent grass, leaves, clouds and flowers before taking our art outside and painting in the sunshine.
Some masterpieces were created. Well done, 4A!
Hair-rising charity success for Eddie!, by Mrs Walters
Date: 13th Jul 2021 @ 9:15am
Well done and thank you to one of our pupils who has raised more than £650 for charity.
Year 5 pupil Eddie Walker has been growing his hair for two years with the plan of cutting it when he had raised enough money for The Little Princess Trust to pay for a wig for a child with cancer.
Each wig costs £550 and Eddie has proved he's a cut above by hitting a total of £655!
His family and school are very proud of him for his selfless behaviour and fantastic charity spirit - well done Eddie!
If anyone would like to add to this amount his Just Giving page is still live:
