Art lessons: Dear Parents/Carers, This week in our art lesson we will be experimenting with paint, we will be looking at the primary colours and discovering what colours we can make when we mix these. Please could you send your child into school with a painting apron or an old shirt that they can wear during the lesson to avoid getting paint on their school uniform.  Lime Bay's art lesson is on Tuesday. Ash Bay's art lesson is on Thursday. We will keep these aprons/shirts in school to use in future lessons throughout Year 1. Many Thanks, Miss Saveall and Ms Coulson.
