Artclub and KS 1 Art on display at Tropical World

On display at Tropical World in Leeds is Art designed and made by Robin Hood Primary School pupils.

Two large paintings and models of animals have been made by the Artclub, an after-school club of sixteen pupils at Robin Hood Primary School, Leeds. Since November, the children have been designing and making the artwork.

Alongside these are three panels of paintings made during the “Animals” topic by Key Stage 1 children.

The children learned all about animal’s habitats and why different animals are suited to different parts of the world. In addition to producing a painting depicting an animal of their choice, they also sewed their own bookmarks.

Pom Pom Owls at Lotherton Hall

The pom-pom owls made by Robin Hood Primary School are now permanently based at Lotherton Hall.  They are displayed in an exhibition case in the Education Rooms which are set in the Bird Garden.

It is particularly fitting that the owls have been allowed to “live” there as it was “Gazza”, or Gascoigne, the hand-reared barn owl at Lotherton Hall, that the owls were based on.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Rob Driver, the Education Officer and Richard Wardell, Gazza’s keeper, at Lotherton for arranging this.

The Education Rooms are open when there are workshops taking place, so you can see the pom-pom owls on full display.
