The 'Carnival' Art Exhibition
Sat 27 Feb 2016What a wonderful Friday evening and Saturday morning. So many parents, family and children came to see the 5th of our Arts Exhibitions 'Carnival'.
The teachers came up with some amazingly creative ideas including Venetian Carnival masks in Reception, Year 1 and 2, watercolour African Carnival painting (both individual and a large class version) in Year 3, Indian Colour Run celebrations in Year 4, Poetry and masks in Year 5 and Mexican 'Dia de los Muertos' (Day of the Dead mask designs in Year 6. An Art teacher from Kineton High School came and created 3D Toucans with some Year 2 pupils and fabulous carnival flowers and Brazilian Sun weaving were completed with some of our brilliant parents and grandparents - we are very grateful for all of this support. Our fabulous 'Under the Sea' carnival float, created by another talented parent was decorated by our pupils set the scene and looked very colourful. The Samba drumming (funded by The Friends of The Dassett) was much enjoyed by all pupils and all in all our Arts Week and Exhibition were supremely successful and another example of what makes The Dassett such an exciting place to be.
So, enough from us, let some of the visitors tell you what they thought:
