Arts Week

Art's Week 20th - 24th October 2025

This year the theme of Arts week is ‘Colour, Shape and Pattern’. The influences from Diwali will be the focus for the week and by the end of the week each year group will have produced a quality piece of art. To accompany the main focused task the children will take part in planned activities which are skills based which will contribute to the production of the final piece.
