We were very fortunate to have the artist, illustrator and author Ian Archie Beck visit us yesterday! He talked about his work, from famous album covers designs to children's books, poetry to short stories. He inspired the pupils to start creating some myrioramas. Thank you!

During Group 3 (Year 6) Design lessons, the Design Barn has been ringing to the sound of hammers in action the past few weeks, as they work on constructing the frames for their garden trugs. Great teamwork in action - helping each other in turn. #design #make Bedales Prep
