But just how do we prepare and educate children for that? The answer is in many different ways over the years, but it is definitely a life-skill that has come to my mind in particular this term.

Mrs M Phillips 2 WORLD BOOK DAY AT CHESSINGTON LODGE AND GLYN HOUSE SCHOOL COUNCIL 3 ART It has been a busy term for the Prep School Art Department during the Spring Term. All the children have worked extremely hard and the results speak for themselves. Year 3 have been working on Miro’s fantasy pictures by showing their own fantasies in colourful paintings. Year 3 also worked on fruit baskets with added fruits to complement their Science education on healthy eating. Year 4 enjoyed working on Karel Appel’s childlike paintings of cats working in their own style. Year 5 worked carefully on their animal silhouettes together with Mondrian’s precise primary colour pictures. Year 6 worked with great enthusiasm on Picasso faces resulting in fine pieces of work.
