Just wanted to say many thanks for the fun filled day you had with us last month, I think the children's engagement was amazing and you really captured their creative flair. The day was thoroughly planned out and ran like clockwork, you adapted well to our children's individual needs in our Additional Resourced Provision. We have proudly displayed our artwork in the main corridor for all to enjoy!

We recently had a wonderful experience making felt autumnal pictures with wool, guided by some fantastic instructions from Heidi. The kids were so engaged and excited as they transformed colourful wool roving into beautiful artwork. Not only did they explore their creativity, but they also learned about the vibrant colors and textures of autumn. This activity fostered teamwork and fine motor skills, and everyone left with a piece of art to be proud of. Highly recommend this fun and educational craft for any group of children!
