Sustainability Day Mural

Collaborative Creativity

The children waited patiently to make their creative mark on the mural and learned all about creative collaboration.
Individual Creative Expression

Every child had an opportunity to express their individual creativity within the theme of the whole picture.
The Final Masterpiece

The mural can be seen from the canal pathway alongside the school, the garden, classrooms and playground.

The Girls Bathrooms

Working Around Obstacles

We found creative ways of working around obstacles and turning them into part of the mural.
Creative Collaboration

The children worked as a team to make a magical mural in their bathrooms, even singing together as they worked!
Cubicle Mini Murals

Each of the seven cubicles has a mini mural based upon a positive affirmation. The words are on the cubicle door with the art above the toilets.

Seven Sided Building Mural

Creating Themes

We brainstormed ideas for the themes on each side of the mural and created characters
Roller Door Garden Shed

This side of the mural is next to the kitchen-garden, so we created cheeky fruit and veggie characters to bring the garden to life.
View From The Street

You can’t miss our mural as you drive past the school! While its vibrant colours stand out, the colour palette is in keeping with the surrounding area - the earth, red brick buildings, grass and sky.
