Monday 17 June 2024 Artist visit from Van Gogh House Two weeks ago, Year 6 visited the van Gogh House, a short distance from St Mark's. We explored the house, learning about the time which Vincent van Gogh spent there and also about a young boy who hid his toys under the floorboards. We also explored the local pedestrianised street, taking rubbings of different textures from man-made and natural objects. This week, an artist from van Gogh House visited us for two mornings to collaboratively create artwork. We made more rubbings in our school playground, then chose one texture to make a plaster cast of in different pastel shades. We also made chalk patterns. On the second morning, we created cyanotype photographs using different objects, as well as crayon and watercolour postcards. All of our artwork will be displayed for the public to see on the weekend of 29th-30th June.

Tuesday 21 May 2024 Gangs Workshop On Monday, Year 6 were visited by Said, from St Giles Trust, who spoke passionately about the dangers of gangs on London streets. He gave helpful advice, impressing on the children the need to choose their friends wisely and to avoid anything that looks like trouble. He explained the different ways in which gang members might try to befriend children and the consequences in the future. As we prepare Year 6 for their move to secondary school, this was an important learning opportunity as our children grow in independence. Above all, Said encouraged the children to speak often to trusted adults about things that concern them.
