New Art Club 

We are planning a brand new art club after half term, starting Monday 11th November.  It will be run by Samantha Birch, who was a secondary school Art & Design teacher for nine years but now runs a successful club at a school in Surrey three evenings a week.

Please see Samantha's introduction below and how to contact her to book the club.

"I’d like to share a bit about my journey in art education! After nine years as a secondary Art & Design Teacher, I started my own after-school Art & Crafts Club at a local primary school. Over the past six years, this club has grown in popularity, and I now run sessions three evenings a week, welcoming children of all ages and abilities.

I’m excited to launch a new after-school Art & Crafts Club here at Ellingham Primary School! This club will be a space for creativity, exploration, and collaboration, where students can express themselves and develop their artistic skills in a fun, supportive environment.

The Art & Crafts Club will feature a diverse range of projects and techniques, from painting and drawing to sculpture and mixed media. Each session will encourage students to explore their creativity while learning new skills and experimenting with different materials. I’m thrilled to guide them on this artistic journey and watch their unique visions come to life!"

Primary Mental Health Conference

On Wednesday at 18th September, Mrs Sephton and the Year 6 Wellbeing Ambassadors headed off to Southborough School to take part in the Primary Mental Health Conference.  The morning involved lots of fun activities including the hoop game, kindness game and completing an action plan.  The Year 6 ambassadors are planning to lead a wellbeing assembly and many more things!  The ambassadors were superb company and a real credit to Ellingham.
