Thank you 4DM for bringing colour and vibrancy, smiles and enthusiasm to your ‘Arts Fortnight’. Through exploration and embracing new challenges, you have all bravely ‘had a go’ and because of this experienced many wow moments along your journey. Who would have thought that Oscar Wilde’s classic story, ‘The Selfish Giant’ could generate monologues, dialogues, letters, dance, drama and such stunning art work in the style of the artist Robert Kushner?

A big thank you also goes to Miss Allison for her wonderful choreography and sharing the importance of team work on so many levels. Trust in each other was certainly evidenced in your wall sections, whilst team work resulted in a delightful performance. The smiles and applause from your parents, sisters and interested adults was testament to your achievement.

Last but not least were the jam tarts you baked with Mrs Walker, and then wolfed down over tea and coffee in the cafe!

Here are some of the lovely comments from this afternoons celebration…

‘I liked being able to talk to Matthew about his work and listening to him explain what they have been working on in lessons. I also liked being able to paint and draw and have a nosey around his classroom!’ Charlotte (big sister)

‘I am very proud of 4DM for the amazing work they have done, and performing a beautiful dance.‘ Miss Henstock

‘The way they told the story through dance was very impressive. All the artwork was amazing and individual. I would happily display at home!’

‘Loved the jam tarts! The Art, the dancing and interaction of children in working together was great.’ Karam’s mum
