This week we have explored John Brusdon’s linear artwork. The children have practised using lines and colour to build up different landscape features, such as mountains, fields, sky, etc… Then they put their skills to the test by using their practised techniques to create a John Brunsdon inspired
The views of parents/carers are essential in evaluating our current work and shaping the way in which we develop our future practice at Harlow Green. Consequently, we would appreciate it if you could complete the survey which has been provided to your child (or can be downloaded below) and return

They all agreed that the only material that was an electrical condu
