Year 2 - Face Paint

Dear Parents,

As part of our “Myths and Legends” artwork, I was hoping to let the children have some fun with our “Face Paints” and turn each other into monsters (...bigger monsters).

If you would rather that your child did not have their face painted (allergies etc), please could you let one of the Y2 Team know.

Many thanks,

Duncan MacBean
