Pupils from Years 5 and 6 enjoyed an outdoor art morning with a double-edged theme of the environment and mindfulness.

Armed with the contents of the Art Room, pupils headed into the great outdoors for a morning of creativity. Their first activity focused on the smaller creatures in our gardens and the importance of bugs and minibeasts. Pupils were asked to decorate a bug box, in their own design, to make a welcoming environment for visiting guests.

Their second task was based on mindfulness. This activity really stretched the pupils’ resilience as the process of making a God’s eye takes a little patience! God’s eye or Ojo de Dios, is a simple weaving technique of Mexican origin which has spiritual significance. Our pupils loved the choice of coloured wool and the repetitive nature of the activity.
