Activities Week Day 3: Yorkshire Sculpture Park

An hour and a quarter up the M1 and Chellaston Academy arrive at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park! What feels like a small miracle sees the weather cease its relentless downpour and bless us with wall to wall sunshine. Brilliant! Lots of sketchbook work was undertaken and fantastic responses were made to the likes of Miro, Kapoor and Caro.The sculpture was good, but the kids were amazing. Well done you lot!

Thanks to all of you that emailed images in to be published.
