Children's Art week
We are supporting Children's Art Week for the next three weeks 27 June – 19 July.
There will be three different themes, each lasting for one week. These are:
- Week 1 (from 29 June): The Natural World
- Week 2 (from 6 July): Connecting across generations
- Week 3 (from 13 July): Literacy and creative writing
This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals to try something new. There are a range of activities and crafts that will hopefully encourage families, children, students, and adults to get involved with.
