It has been a brilliant second day here in St Ives. We started the morning with breakfast and making our packed lunches for the day and even had some time to play some board games before we headed out for our big art adventure!

The day was split into two sessions: a visit to the Leach Pottery where the children had the opportunity to design and create their own clay tile inspired by the sea. We look forward to receiving these in the post! We also learnt all about Bernard Leach, the founder of Leach Pottery, and saw the equipment that he used back in the 1960s.

The second session involved us visiting the Tate St Ives where we walked around the gallery and the children were encouraged to decide what they liked and disliked about the artwork. We even saw a piece of art made out of cheese! After our visit to the Tate, we went to the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden to learn about the life of Barbara Hepworth and see some of her sculptures.

Sadly, our boat ride was cancelled this evening due to it being fairly windy in St Ives so we took a stroll to the beach to play lots of games! The children had a great time playing in the sand, digging holes and playing football! We have ended the evening with a delicious dinner and pudding and we are all chilling out before we head to bed.

We are all really looking forward to our beach day tomorrow!
