The PE curriculum and vision

Art, craft and design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity. A high-quality art and design education should engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As pupils progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design. They should also know how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.

Way back on the Year 3 Transition Day in the summer, Coral Class were asked to design a winter hat. At the time they thought that Mrs Harden had perhaps forgotten what season it was. However, today they had a very special visit from Mrs Harden's Mum, who had been working hard to knit all of their designs! They absolutely loved seeing their designs turned into unique Christmas gifts. The biggest thank you to Mrs Harden's Mum and also to Mrs Gee and Mrs Ladd who made all the pom poms for the top of their hats. A very happy Christmas from Coral Class 🎄⭐
