    ANNUAL ART WEEK

    Each year we have a highly anticipated and extremely successful Art Week. The children spend the whole week working around a chosen theme. We dedicate our time to inspiring the children through Art and tackling many exciting and large-scale projects to help develop and build on their existing Art skills. Each class throughout the school creates pieces of Art, both individually and in groups, based on the theme. The following week, parents, grandparents, relatives and friends are invited to visit the school to enjoy and appreciate the children’s hard work, in an exhibition of their talents. This has always been a resounding success, with a big impact, and we always urge as many visitors as possible; it is a real celebration of the creativity within our school.

    ART WEEK 2021

    In Summer 2021 we held our annual Art Week. Due to Covid, things were still not quite back to normal, however this did not stop us from getting creative. Across the school, we used the opportunity to ensure that we continued to develop the art skills of all the children as part of our ‘catch-up’ curriculum. Every opportunity was used to produce work on an individual, group and class basis while working with a range of media. The children produced many outstanding pieces of work which are now displayed around the school and many examples were also added to the display at Nantwich Museum over October half-term, which celebrated art from schools within the area.

    Virtual Art Week 2020

    In June, as a school, we continued our tradition of an annual Art Week. Those children that had returned to school took part in their bubbles and those that were working at home virtually spent each afternoon of the week focusing on a range of Art activities.

    The theme was slightly different as previous years; we focused on different styles of Art as well as famous artists. This was fantastic for building up our knowledge and skills! As you can see from many of the amazing works of art below the children had a creative time!
