Attendance and Punctuality

Art on the Hill

It is less than a month till BS3’s premier art event. On Saturday 3rd of October we are once again opening our doors to show off the fantastic art of our pupil community. 

Over the next few weeks children from reception to Year 6 will be hard at work combining creativity, determination and team work to produce something fantastic for the crowds. With the support of Lucy and Beth from ArtLab the sky is the limit and I hope you are looking forward to seeing the final pieces as much as we are. 

Next week,  the workshops will be:

Tuesday 15th: Year 4 and Year 2 

The following week, the workshops will be:

Monday 21st: Year 1 and Year 5

Tuesday 22nd: Year 3 and Reception

Thursday 24th: Year 5 and Year 3 

Friday 25th: Year 6 and Year 2

In the last week, the workshops will be:

Monday 28th: Year 4 and Reception

Tuesday 29th: Year 6 and Year 1

The children are likely to be using a lot of paint (and other interesting mediums) on some large surfaces during the workshops. On the day your child is doing their workshop, to prevent uniforms being covered in paint, they can bring in some old clothes (that you don't mind getting messy) to change into during the workshop. 

 Watch this space for some sneak previews as the art work progresses over the next couple of weeks...
