Today all pupils were introduced to our new, exciting, Junior School art project.
We are going to paint a ‘tree of life’, with birds and creatures in the school corridor. We need your ideas as drawings or paintings, individually or as a group. You can make as many entries as you wish.
Please give your named entries in at the school office, in the week after the Easter holiday during the week beginning 17th April. The final deadline is Friday 21st April.
Here is some background information about the meaning of the tree of life:
The Tree of Life represents the interconnectedness of everything in the universe. It symbolizes togetherness and is a reminder that you are never alone, that you are connected to the world. The roots of the Tree of Life grow deep into the earth, accepting nourishment from Mother Earth, and its branches reach up into the sky, accepting energy from the sun and moon.
What else can you find out about the tree of life? Has it been used as a Christian symbol? Or in any other religions and cultures? Have you seen a tree of life anywhere before?
