It was a very inspiring session and the children participated and listened beautifully.

Students learned to use elements such as line, mark making, value, shape, colour, pattern, and composition to bring their artwork to life. Finally, they recogn

During this first term, we have been back to reading with our reading buddies at Glendale. Some of the residents are very generous with their time on a Thursday afternoon and listen to our pupils read. The children enjoy reading and discussing their books and are always very well behaved. Thank you Glendale buddies.
