Y5 students explored the power of Art and how it can be used as a form of activism to get a message across. Linking with their work on refugees and The Arrival, students learnt about artist, Ai Weiwei, before recreating a clay version of his piece, Law of the Journey #safepassage

Just a casual bit of family research on the island. Connecting with our Saint heritage was one hell of a journey! #StHelena #heritage #ancestry
Heritage travel has brought so many people to #StHelena, to make a physical connection to ancestry and uncover family trees within the local archives section. It is amazing how many people have connected to St Helena but have never visited the island. #StHelenaisland

What an incredible event by @RevolutonArts bringing DunDu to Luton. The event started in Bury Park and made it's way to St George's Square. Dundu was accompanied by drummers and dancers from @ngyt_uk. Thank you to all involved for bringing light and fun to Luton tonight.
