5P thoroughly enjoyed the two weeks of Arts Fortnight. The concept was around children exploring their emotions through colour, enabling an ability to better express, digest and explore their emotions. This involved workshops around emotional literacy and understanding. Each morning and afternoon the children ‘checked in’ in their sketch books. At these checkpoints, they chose a colour, which reflected their mood and emotions, then doodled how they felt.

For the most of these two weeks, we were in the Arts studio following a larger process in which to create high-quality pieces of art, that had the concept of our project, ‘Colourful Me’, at its core. Most mornings we were in the dance studio, practising and learning our dance, working alongside Miss Prachatt.
