Year 3 Community Project
Last term, on Good to be Different Day, Year 3’s community project took place. The Year 3 pupils, parents, teachers, governors, KS2 super sewers and a very special volunteer from the Havering Quilters worked together to create a mural quilt inspired by Frida Kahlo (our uniqueness ambassador).
Throughout the day of sewing, everyone showed great resilience and determination. We are so proud of the superb creativity and imagination the children demonstrated. As well as the delicate stitching and embellishments, the mural also includes 12 carefully selected words to represent our school community as a result of our survey.
You can see the in the reception, on display for everyone to enjoy.
