One of the easiest ways to raise a tiny bit of money each time you spend - it all adds up to about £100 a year for FroWGS, for the school and for your child.

What fabulous Christmas card designs! All the children’s beautiful creations were sent off to the printers today, so keep an eye out for those all-important order codes coming home soon!

FroWGS popped into school to help the children create their very own marbled Northern Lights and cut out their silhouettes.

The Acorns explored shaving foam marbling, while Saplings and Oak experimented with acrylic paints floated on a thickened water medium to create their stunning designs.

It was such a joy to get creative with the children, and we hope they had just as much fun as we did!

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make these gorgeous Christmas cards possible!

FroWGS had a great time with Acorn class this afternoon - we’ve been marbling using paints swirled into shaving foam to create some gorgeous Christmas auroras for their cards this year. Safe to say that we made a fair amount of mess, but the kids enjoyed it!
