*COMPETITION TIME*

🌈 Calling all Little Artists at Manor Primary School 👩‍🎨👨‍🎨

If your child had to make a picture to put up in the Royal Berkshire Hospital to brighten the spirits of everyone there at the moment, what would they do? Would they draw?  Would they paint? Would they use felt tips? The possibilities are endless!

We want the children to create their own picture that they want to send into the Royal Berkshire Hospital during these difficult times to lift spirits and brighten the place up.

IT IS A COMPETITION AND 2 WINNERS FROM EACH CLASS WILL BE CHOSEN TO HAVE THEIR PICTURES PUT UP ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE. HOWEVER EVERY ENTRY WILL BE TAKEN TO THE ROYAL BERKSHIRE HOSPITAL .

We know that at Manor we have many young artists so this is their chance to shine and show off their talent. Take a photo of your child’s picture and email it to your child’s class teacher. You can find each class teacher’s email on our school website.

We look forward to seeing your amazing art work, you can draw, you can paint, you can use gel pens, whatever you want but just remember to be creative and have fun! Entries need to be in by Friday 10th April. Good luck🌈
