Family Stay and Share session

We really enjoyed our stay and share session, thank you so much to everyone that attended. Year 3 constructed their natural sculptures based on the work of Andy Goldsworthy. Then we took photographs and edited these using a range of techniques such as cropping, filters, brightness and contrast.
