Whole School Letter 13

Dear Parents,

We have been invited to contribute some of our artwork towards a County exhibition to celebrate the Olympics in 2012. The project is called “Rings” and takes its theme from the logo of the Olympic Rings and the artist Francoise Dupre. The exhibition will take place in the Winchester Discovery Centre and The Great Hall throughout July 2012.

During the week of January 23rd 2012 each class will spend a morning making a large number of rings, created essentially with textile techniques of wrapping and French knitting. Whilst the school will be providing much of the required materials for the rings, it would be extremely helpful if you could also send in suitable materials to supplement our resources.

Possible rings
Cardboard tubes Unwanted bangles
Sellotape insides Wire
Old cds Tyres
Strong card

Materials
All materials need to be in the colours of the five Olympic rings (blue, yellow, black, green and red)

Wool
Pages from magazines
Ribbon

Anything really that you think would be suitable! Please send any items into your classes at the start of next term. Let the class teacher know if you are willing and able to help!

The rings will be made on the following mornings

Tuesday 24th January – Year R and Year 1
Wednesday 25th January – Year 2 and Year 3
Thursday 26th January – Year 4 and Year 5
Friday 27th January – Year 6

Thank you for your support. If you have any questions please see Miss Cutler or Mrs James.

Yours Faithfully




Mrs D James
Deputy Headteacher
