Art lesson for Children’s Mental Health Week

20th Feb 2026
 
To mark Children’s mental health week we participated in a fantastic art lesson with Sinead from the Art and Design Factory.  The theme for this year was ‘This is My Place’.  Sinead talked with us about the importance of knowing our own happy place and the importance of showing love to everyone so everyone feels a sense of belonging.

Our artwork is inspired by Friedensreich Hundertwasser who was an Austrian artist and architect who loved bright colours, spirals, and nature, while hating straight lines and boring, grey buildings. He believed buildings should have trees growing on roofs, wavy floors, and no two windows should be the same.

We always look forward to our art lessons with Sinead.  Thank you for a fabulous morning!
