Birthday Card

This morning the art group worked together and made this card.
We were so pleased with it we almost didn't want to send it!
It is going to a gentleman who was involved in setting up our charity in the 1960's, to celebrate his 80th Birthday!
We chose a garden theme for the front of the card because growth is something that is very important to us!

3D chapter pictures

Today we made these fantastic 3D scenes inside boxes!

Each box contains a picture to go with one of the chapters from the book Alice in Wonderland.

We talked about perspective and tried to make our pictures have a fore and background!

We used a frame and stuck things onto it so that they were in the front of the picture, it took lots of planning and discussion, we sketched our ideas out first.

We got there in the end and as always we're thrilled with the results of our efforts!

Oh we do like to be beside the sea side!

Wow what a beautiful day!!

We were determined to make the most of it so we got as many people as we could together and headed down to the beach this morning!

We drew targets on the sand and threw stones to score points, we made a giant sand castle, we sorted stones into piles of different colours... and then we had a picnic!

We loved walking bare foot on the cool sand!

What a great way to spend a morning!
