"Under the Sea" at the Children's Centre

Way back in the summer term of 2011, Sara Jackson, the manager of the Children's Centre spoke with Mrs. Dale, Mrs. Mistry and myself, Mrs. Chin about the children of Robin Hood Primary School creating some fabulous models that would hang over the sand and water area in the commutiy room, so the babies could look at them.


During our Artclub sessions the Key Stage 1 children have designed , built and decorated some amazing sea creatures that are now hanging in situ in the community room.


We worked to specific requirements just as an artist would in a real life commission. The team at the Children's Centre said the models would need to be bright, but not too big (to block light from the window) and were to be of objects that the babies would recognise. Since there was a theme already of sand and water in the room we all agreed "Under the Sea" would be great!


Take a look at the photostory to see what we did.....
