Members of the school’s Art Club were inspired by the Art work of poppies at The Tower Of London. They decided to recycle plastic bottles by cutting them and painting them to create enough large poppies for each person at the School. After a whole school Assembly when the meaning of the poppies was discussed everyone at the School planted their poppy in a specially designated area.

Julia Slocombe, Head teacher said, “It is wonderful that our children are so inspired by modern day art work and history.”
