About this curriculum

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.

Before half-term, our KS1 and KS2 children from military families had the lovely opportunity to work with Colourful Horizons to design and create Remembrance Day poppy pebbles. The children have been given their pebbles to hide within the community. If you spot any, please upload a photo to MKC Poppy Pebbles Facebook group and keep an eye out to see if your pebble is found! A huge thank you to Colourful Horizons and to MKC Heroes for funding such a wonderful project.
