We watched video clips and learned facts about how many refugees come to Britain every year. Taking inspiration from the artist Paul Peter Piech, we created an emotional piece of art using printing skills. Mrs Wood (an educational artist) worked with us to create a large scale refugees poster with our thoughts and opinions. ### PSHE art Y6 2017 [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5181.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5181.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5182.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5182.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5186.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5186.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5188.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5188.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5190.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5190.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5191.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5191.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5192.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5192.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5195.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5195.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5197.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5197.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5201.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5201.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5206.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5206.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5208.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5208.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5209.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5209.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5210.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5210.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5212.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5212.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5216.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5216.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5217.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5217.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5219.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5219.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5220.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5220.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5221.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5221.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5222.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5222.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5223.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5223.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5224.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5224.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5225.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5225.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5226.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5226.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10870/DSCN5227.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10870/DSCN5227.JPG) [ Walking Wednesday](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/2017-02-22-18-12-19-walking-wednesday) [Crime and Punishment ](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/2017-02-24-15-46-58-crime-and-punishment) ### Our School -
