Quotes from the children from the Class 5 Art Trip:

'I enjoyed when we went on the stairs and drew all the things we saw.'

'I loved the art gallery because I loved the activity and I was inspired by the massive drawing because I liked the bits of our town and I recognised the outdoor pool.'

'It was really cool and I noticed every painting had a different meaning behind it and it was like the paintings had come to life.'

'I LOVED the art gallery! It was so fun, we drew shapes and pictures on fabric on both sides to make a stained glass window. WOW! Next, we cut the fabric in to shapes. It was hard to see them go but they would become something even better!'

'I really enjoyed how Laurie's paintings look like he let his hand be in control and how he has made some 3D items and really spent time on them.'

'I Think it was relly imaginative and I loved that a lot of the art was of the town and in it. I loved the activities.'

'Art is my favourite, I loved it!'

'I loved how there were lots of different paintings and colours.'

'The gallery was good because I loved the pictures and the crafts. It was so fun!'

'I loved the use of whatever is around to make art.'

'I loved the sculptures, making shapes and Laurie was funny and kind.'

'Laurie was really nice and he helped to inspire me and was very supportive and gave lots of positive comments about my artwork he also showed us lots of techniques with our pens.'

Artsmark Award

We are delighted to share with you that we have been awarded the Artsmark Gold Award for embedding arts, culture and creativity across the whole school. ‘Stratton Church of England Primary School’s first Artsmark journey has seen an impressive embedding of the arts within the curriculum and the culture of the school. Built on a clear understanding of the value of the arts to children’s learning, you have developed the crosscurricular use of the arts to inspire engagement and to offer children a range of routes to demonstrate their learning.’ We have enjoyed the journey so far and look forward to embedding the arts even further.
