On Wednesday 21^st February 10am-5pm and Thursday 22^nd February 2024  10am-3pm we held an Art exhibition at at Walsall Art Gallery.

To coincide with 2024’s Children’s Mental Health Week, samples of children’s artwork produced from seven of the Federation schools across all year groups from 2 year olds to Year 6 children was displayed in our own Lighthouse exhibition at Walsall Art Gallery. The theme to design a piece of artwork was called ‘What makes you happy?’ The artwork was a celebration of creativity and expression by our children, showcasing their skills across a range of media:

2 year olds- paint

Nursery-collage

Reception-sketching

Year 1-patterning and printing

Year 2-paint

Year 3-pastels

Year 4-digital art

Year 5-sketching

Year 6-sculpture

The event was very successful and schools visited across the two days, as well as family members and members of the public.

We look forward to a similar event next year, but plan to extend it for another day so more families can visit the exhibition.
