☀️Our Preparatory Ignite Community Group ventured off to our local Greenhead Park and were fortunate enough to be accompanied by the warm sunshine. 🎨🏞️
We enjoyed ‘Art in the park’, making observational drawings of our beautiful surroundings and to celebrate this central community outdoor space. A highlight for us all was most definitely the resident heron which presented the perfect subject for our artwork. A beautiful afternoon! 🦩✨
Congratulations to Year 9 student Lily, who has been selected for the West Yorkshire Netball Squad.
Well done Lily!
