Storytelling workshop 📕

Today Bowbrook hall was filled imagination, colour and creativity!

We were joined by the incredible storyteller Jake Evans and his mum, the talented artist, Sarah Evans. Together they launched our whole school art project.

The children were captivated by Jake’s stories and Sarah’s art work. As a result, they have been buzzing with ideas as we begin to work together on some collaborative artwork that represents our wonderful school.

We can’t wait to reveal the finished piece in a few weeks.

Little Rascals Volunteering 🧡

Today, our staff gave back to our wonderful community by volunteering at the Little Stars warehouse.

Little Stars have helped us throughout the year by donating equipment & resources enabling us to support our families. It only felt right that we gave back by offering them help in their warehouse today.
