The teachers and pupils at Clifford Road Primary & Nursery School in Ipswich love so much about Busy Things.
And the reasons they give are why schools keep renewing their subscriptions with us.
Many thanks for the lovely feedback Sally-Ann!

Lovely picture. We love the work #DavidHockney and are sad to see him leave us. Luckily he has left a huge amount of art behind for us to enjoy. 🖼️ 🎨❤️

Not quite homage to #DavidHockney who died today but his use of digital art techniques in more recent times reminded me of this beautiful landscape one of the children created this week in my Reception class using @LGfL @busythings

.. and changing to a diet with less meat, is one way we can reduce our impact on the planet. Do your pupils know what being vegan means?
Working #TogetherforGood, could any vegan pupils share a recipe in the comments?
