Walk to School Week is run by the charity Living Streets and is a yearly event to raise awareness of walking and other active ways to travel. This year’s event will be taking place 19 – 23 May 2025. This year’s challenge will see pupils take on The Great Space Walk, encouraging them to travel actively to school every day of the week.

How many famous artists do you know?

Activity: Cubism colouring

Cubism is an art movement that shows people or objects from lots of angles at the same time. It often makes the artwork look broken up or like it is made from cubes.

Pablo Picasso and the artist George Braque invented Cubism as a new form of art.

Have a go at creating your own cubist artwork with an object from your home by drawing it from many angles or print and colour the cubist guitar below.

Bring your completed artwork to share in crew next week!
