Read MoreNew Wall Art
Published 16/02/24Earlier this term some areas of the school were given a refresh with new wall art. The Rainbow Room and the Reception classroom book area have both been given a woodland feel, while the under the sea theme has been continued further around the dining room.
The children have decided to rename the Rainbow Room which will now be called, perhaps unsurprisingly, the Woodland Room!
With thanks to the Friend of Tannery Drift who have funded part of this project. We are sure you will agree that the artwork makes for a wonderful space for the children.
