Year 6 had a wonderful experience on their trip to the Art Café, where creativity was flowing and imaginations ran wild. The children thoroughly enjoyed painting and personalising their own ceramic cups, taking great pride in their unique designs. It was a fun, relaxing, and inspiring day that gave them the chance to express themselves through art and take home a special keepsake to remember it by.
