PRINCIPAL
 Inspired by the work of British
artist Andy Goldsworthy, the
Y5/6 students from Room 2
buddied up with their PP class
to create outstanding art-
works made from ‘found’
objects in nature. Inspiration
was all around as the children
collaborated to create unique
works that made the most of
what the natural environment
had to offer.
