Wishing you all a Happy New Year.  Please consider taking part in The January Challenge this month.

Each day you will find quick creative challenges on the Artsmark tab.  They shouldn’t take long but will be very rewarding in warding off those winter blues.  There will usually be a choice of 3 challenges so feel free to pick and choose which one you complete each day.

It is fine to miss days out if you’re too busy, or you just don’t feel like doing any of them.  Just make sure you check back the next day for a new set of challenges.

Please send your pictures to Miss Gunn to share on the website: arts@stjosephs351.herts.sch.uk

Happy creating.
