Monkfest Volunteers
We desperately need more volunteers for Monkfest on Saturday 25th June. If you can offer any help at all it would be very much appreciated. Unfortunately, without further help, the event will be unable to go ahead.
Art Bytes
On Thursday 16th June The Monkton Park ArtBytes Finalists were invited to a prestigious event at the Arnolfini gallery, Bristol where we were delighted to discover that Alice Mockler was the South West Regional winner!
Over 100 schools entered ArtBytes this year and the winning artwork from each region of the UK is now displayed in a virtual gallery. Please take time to enter the gallery and enjoy the children's artwork.
We are very proud of our three finalists Alice Mockler, Jasmine Gardner and Amelie White as well as all the Year 5 entries this year from Monkton Park. It was incredible to hear that Monkton Park was the winning school winning £50 of books for our library!
Please follow the link to explore the virtual gallery:
