Schools workshops update




Today saw the last of the practical sessions with the 3 local schools, with all children involved having visited the restored area of riverbank, and documented their experiences in different creative ways.

Children from St Mary's school began with working into clay tablets at the riverside, moving on to making individual sculptures from clay and found materials, then culminating in the creation of a giant nest-sculpture this morning.....



Children and staff from Preshute school were equally enthusiastic, using their experience along the riverbank as a trigger to research the wildlife of the Kennet and make headresses and masks based on them.

All the work will be available to view at the 'Reclaim Our River' exhibition, private view Friday 3.10 to 5.00 p.m. and public viewing 11.00 to 3.00p.m. this weekend at St Peters Drama studio, The Parade, Marlborough.... see you there!
