Welcome to the scariest blog post we have had for a while… read on if you dare! We asked our students this week to create artwork on the theme of Creepy Crawlies. If you scroll down the page, you will be amazed at the vast array of ideas and creativity this week.
Well done to student Lowri Tolman who has been chosen this week as our featured image. We agree… a very creepy crawly!!
