Our day started cool & damp and ended hot & humid BUT this did not get in the way of the creativity displayed in the students artwork... wonderfully done everyone!

Tomorrow we will be taking part in painting reproductions throughout the day.  Please ensure that you are dressed for success as the paint is permanent on clothing.
