Read MoreRAPS Talent Show!
Published 09/05/23, by Joshua CialisThe RAPS talent show is back! It will be held on the last day of term (Fri 26th May) during school time. If children want to take part, they will need to audition at lunchtime on Thurs 18th May 12pm. They can perform any talent they wish, in a group or on their own, and can use backing music if they want to. A message will be sent home if they are successful in getting through to the final. Good luck and I can't wait to see all your amazing and unique talents!

Read MoreSuccess at Turner Exhibition
Published 05/05/23, by Joshua CialisMaeve, from Team Cialis, has had a piece of artwork accepted in to the Turner Contemporary's latest exhibition. Maeve's piece of ceramic depicts a mermaid surrounded by rubbish.
Maeve describes the artwork in this way:
I have made a mermaid out of clay and she is lying on the rocks, tired after collecting two bin bags full of rubbish. I wanted to create something that appealed to children as most will know the story of the little mermaid but then I also wanted to deliver a strong message: that just because we don't live in the sea ourselves we have a responsibility to keep it clean for everyone.
If you would like to see Maeve's artwork in the gallery, the exhibition will be running from 27th May until 10th September.
I'm sure we'd all like congratulate Maeve on this amazing success!

Read MoreArt to Start - Life All Around Us
Published 26/04/23, by Joshua CialisThis week, year 4 did their Art to Start. We created insect water colours inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe. Georgia O’Keeffe is recognised as being a pioneer of American modernism. She was highly praised for her art, which was unusual for a woman in a male dominated art world. For creative inspiration, we used O'Keeffe's quote: "I had to create an equivalent for what I felt about what I was looking at – not copy it."
Using insects in resin, we sketched our design. We then added detail using water colours and made a very bright background.
