Mahlia Amatina is an international artist based in Reading, whose artistic practice began just before she was diagnosed with Autism in 2015.
Her work is focused on themes around neurodiversity, and she uses multi-sensory experiences to give insight into life on the autistic spectrum. Her practice includes immersive interactive installations, abstract mixed media paintings and digital art work.
Mrs Ahmad has chosen Amatina as she uses a multi-sensory experience of colour, line, shape and form through tactile art and she thought he thought the children would have fun recreating her bold and bright artwork.
Homework
Children will be given a list of Spellings every Monday which need to be learnt for the following Monday.
Reading is also very important. We encourage children to read with an adult as often as possible. Please sign the reading record when you read with your child/children.
Please see the home procedures for your children's year group.
Library
We have an exciting bus library with many interesting books. Children will visit once a week and will be encouraged to borrow books.
PE
Physical Education takes place twice a week. It is very important that PE kits are kept in school at all times. Please mark each item clearly - that includes plimsolls as it can quite difficult for your child to find them when they are all changing at once.
More information about what your child is learning in school can be found on the curriculum map
