Cows About Cambridge
Thorndown Primary School took part in this collaborative event. Not only did children across all ages of the school get a chance to design and paint our cow but also, we were able to take a group of children on the cow trail in Cambridge. This gave lots of children, who would not have these sorts of opportunities, a chance to experience something different. Now our mini moo is back in school – but keeps ‘mooving’ around. Will you be able to spot her?
Inspire 2020
Years 5 and 6 thoroughly enjoyed being part of this collaborative event with the Fitzwilliam Museum. We were invited to take inspiration from a painting that they have in the museum – Cupid and Psyche by Jacopo del Sellaio. We discovered that this piece of art was part of a piece of furniture at one time and told a story. The Year 5 work you can see in the pictures below shows their story; using the ideas of flight and freedom, on pieces of furniture, which could be used if you needed to move form one place to another – like a refugee. The Year 6’s explored themes of moving on; seeing links in the picture to life changes, similar to their own as they were about to make the transition to secondary school.
