At Sutherland House School, our students recently had their assembly themed around art in the world around us. 🎨
Students worked together to create a large piece of art, with links to local Nottingham landmarks.
Our art specialist Lesley supported our pupils to put their own stamp on this and help them bring their visions to life.
We hope to display this artwork in an exhibition at the end of the year.
We were so impressed with the end result!

David loves butterflies. 🦋
He spent his birthday last year at a local Butterfly House, after spending months excited to go!
Over the last few weeks, David has been watching over five little caterpillars, watching them develop into their cocoons and keeping an eye on when they were ready to hatch.
We're pleased to share that they've now hatched into beautiful butterflies.
It's so moving to watch him set them free!
Bye bye, butterflies! 👋
