If you have visited our school office recently you may
have felt many sets of eyes looking at you. What? You may ask. There are animal
sculptures positioned around the reception area – elephants in front of the
fish tank, two oran-gu-tan’s either side of the door, another elephant staring
at you as you speak to Mrs. Holland and Mrs. Smith. Oh and what is that you see out of the corner
of your eye under the table? A dodo peeping out watching the daily routines of
people coming and going.
These are the sculptures made by the Artclub, an
after-school club. Since Christmas the
children have designed and made these each week. They were inspired by the book The Journey
Home by Frann Preston-Gannon which we read and then the pupils chose to either
paint or make sculptures. You can see how they were made on the Art and
Creativity blog. http://artandcreativityrobinhood.blogspot.co.uk/
