Snapskool
Years 4 ,5 ,and 6 had an exciting photography workshop on Monday. They spent the day learning about photography and exploring the school site and village to take some stunning photos of nature. The feedback from the lady who took the workshop was very positive about the children - see below. Please look at the gallery for photos of the day.
"Thank you Adders and Hedgehog class for taking part in the Letters in The Landscape Workshop , your energy and enthusiasm was inspiring and your engagement to the brief was fantastic . I'm working through the cameras and there are many wonderful and creative images captured by all of the pairs.
I'll be in touch in June with a gallery showcasing the work. Have a wonderful half term and get out and about with your cameras. "
Well done"
