  This week was arts week!

  The children have been enjoying learning through the arts and created some stunning work.

  On Monday children participated in music workshops, playing the ukuleles and singing. There was also a performance from the Contemporary Dance club.

  On Tuesday we were treated to a performance of 'Jack Masterson and the Case of Absurdity' by our Drama club. It was brilliant!

  Also on Tuesday Will and Katie visited the Arts Society meeting in Rickmansworth with Mrs Geddes to deliver a presentation about our recent living willow weaving project.

  On Thursday children in Years 5 and 6 competed in the K-Nex Challenge after Nursery presented their learning at their class assembly.

  Thursday evening we held our annual music evening and were treated to performances from our violinists, pianists, recorder players, our guitarist and the orchestra.

  On Friday we had a dance festival.

  All of the children in the school made an insect from mixed-media during the week.
