Description

At St Helen’s we offer our children lots of exciting creative arts projects across the school year. This includes our annual Arts weeks (2 weeks in June). Each year has a different theme and links the arts to different subject areas – hence this year, the Olympics. Each year group gets to work with different artists. We celebrate as a whole school and community at the end of the weeks. This is a chance to share the skills / written activities we have learnt with everybody.

The mural was designed, drafted and ‘mosaicked’ by our year 5 children (9 – 10yrs). They worked in small groups initially, then the project was mounted onto the wall at the front of our school as a permanent reminder of the amazing opportunities we have at St Helen’s, and what Newham has to offer.
