Paper Playgrounds

Year 1 children have recently taken part in a project called ‘Paper Playgrounds’ at the Thought Foundation in Birtley. The project came about when one of the children from Yr1 came first in a competition ran by the gallery. The school and parents came together to extend her prize to involve all of the children from Yr1. Teachers and Thought Foundation staff created a customised project which enabled the children to experience an art gallery, work with local artists and have their work displayed in the gallery over the February half term! It was amazing to see so many parents and carers attend the opening event where the children saw their artwork on display for the first time and watch the film they had created through drama based on emotions.
