<\/a>The children in P1-7 have been enjoying ‘Art Focus Fortnight’ which ended today. \u00a0Everytime I have visited a class throughout the week, the children were painting, creating or learning about art by focussing on well know artists. \u00a0Each child has created a canvas inspired by their work and every class except P6\/7 have also produced a framed print too.<\/p>\n<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nInstead of a second piece of artwork, P6\/7 were set the task by Mrs. Parker (Senior CLD Worker) to create a piece of video art as part of a ‘Voluntary Action Fund’ project called ‘What My Mother Means to Me’<\/p>\n
Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Byrne from Calderhead High School worked together with pupils from S3 to offer a ‘Special Effects Make Up’ tutorial for our pupils in P5\/6 and P4\/5.<\/p>\n
