This was definitely Mike and Laurence's favourite artwork in the exhibition @SMTrust . We couldn't tear our staff away from Bawden's map. Laurence then gave us a fab history lesson when we walked back to our classroom. #Functionalskills #art #history #learning

We have been inspired by Edward Bawden's map (1931) @SMTrust Scarborough Art Gallery to have a go at creating our own map. We are going to plot some important landmarks, chosen by our Blueberries. Can you guess what they are?

Blueberries were first in the queue to visit the newly opened @SMTrust Scarborough Art Gallery. We are working on two projects about Scarborough, so the exhibition was just the ticket! Next week, we will practise describing and talking about our favourite pieces.

Blueberries and strawberries! Our trainee, Alan, has been helping lovely Martha @crescent_arts in partnership with @WoodendCreative to prepare the raised beds. They have divided all the strawberry plants, giving them space to grow. #EarthDay

Poets are emerging at Blueberry Academy in Scarborough! Megan was inspired by @wondykitten's poem 'In Scarborough' . We went on a walk and Megan noted her thoughts of Scarborough in lockdown, reflecting on some of the things she is missing.
