Sarah Shiundu was an African painting artist who was born in Kakamega, Kenya. She created unique artwork using acrylic paint and a range of materials. Originally, her father encouraged Sarah to apply her artistic ability to becoming an architect. However, after studying design at the University of Nairobi, Sarah realised that there were very few female African artists. She decided to dedicate more time to her art and also helped to train other female artists. 

Mr McMillan chose Sarah Shiundu as his class artist because of the stunning bright and vibrant colours she uses. She also incorporates textiles with interesting patterns, including authentic fabric from the Maasai tribe in Kenya. This gives her artwork a 3D effect that really brings it to life!

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.
