November 2019 - During their trip to Marwell Zoo, Year 3 took some time to pause by the penguin enclosure and use their sketching skills to capture some live penguins!
November 2018 - We participated in a project run by the Hampshire Art team which was displayed at Winchester cathedral. Our theme for this display was "Hope, Peace and Remembrance."
November 2018 - Andover Primary's School Poppy Display!
July 2018 - A local artist came into school to show us his sculptures. He used a chainsaw and large pieces of wood to create different animals and models. The whole school joined him on the field to watch him work.
February 2017 - Whole School Self-Portraits
We used seven different medias to create a whole school portrait display: drawing, painting, printing, sculpture, textiles, ICT and collage. See if you can spot yours!
