We are once again taking part in the Market Drayton calendar competition. This year our month is April. So far half of our school have worked with the local artists to create their paintings, the other half will complete these next Tuesday. A great opportunity to work with local community members, showcasing their artistic skills and sharing their knowledge with our children.
Every child creates a painting, a long list is selected by the artists, followed by a short list of winners to go through to the final selection panel, then an overall winner is selected and their painting is used for the April picture in the printed local calendar. All shortlisted children are invited to a presentation, usually in October.
It has been delightful to see so many beautiful paintings around school this week – so much drying space was needed, they have literally been everywhere! Well done to all involved.
