Yarn Bombing!


We decided our garden could do with a splash of colour and although the Mini Makers can't knit they can wrap! Here are a collection of bamboo sticks all ready and dressed to support the tomato plants when they are ready :)

David Hockney

Master Maker is currently studying David Hockney's work. We are lucky enough to live just a short drive from one of his exhibitions so we took a wonder over one day. MasterMaker chose a postcard to work from andset about his very first watercolour painting. A superb first effort don't you think :)

Mini Makers Bird Boxes

We spent a lovely Spring afternoon with the park rangers of a local park teaching us all about bird habitats. The children then set about making their own bird boxes which currently reside in the school woodland area and their Great Nanna's back garden :)
