  Sun 28 Jun 2020 Mrs Garratt
  Children's Art Week 2020 will take place across 3 weeks from 29th June to 19th July. Activities will take place online, at home and in schools. Each week has a different theme:

   

  • Week 1 - The Natural World
  • Week 2 - Connecting across generations
  • Week 3 - Literacy and creative writing

   

  Over the past months, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how essential creativity and the visual arts are for learning, connecting and wellbeing. While our venues, cultural organisations and some school buildings may be closed, engaging in the visual arts is more important than ever.

• Learning Disability Week 2020

  Sun 14 Jun 2020 Mrs Garratt

  Learning Disability Week 2020 will take place online from 15th to 21st June.

   

  The theme of the week is the importance of friendships during lockdown.

   

  Due to coronavirus, we are all currently living in lockdown. This means that many people with a learning disability are feeling lonely, as they are unable to see their friends and families.

   

  We want to show the importance of friendships to help with tackling isolation, as well as exploring the different ways of maintaining friendships during this unusual time.

   

  Create a friendship flag!

   

  We know many people will be unable to see their friends in person at the moment. So Mencap created a pack to help you have a fun video call with your friends! The pack includes how to make a friendship flag which you could make before your video call that shows all the things you like or miss about your friend. You can then show your friends on your video call, hang it up at home or share it on social media.
