Old Heath Art Exhibition

Part of the Colchester Schools Consortium Art Project 2023

On Wednesday 17th May we held an art exhibition featuring art work by all the classes inspired by the journeys of refugees.

We read stories in assemblies and in our classrooms about the different journeys that some people need to take to find a safe place to live. Through the books and our discussions, we tried to understand the difficulties and dangers and also how hard it must be to arrive and start again somewhere new.

This was the inspiration for our art work.

The photographs show many of our families enjoying the hard work and creativity of all the children and staff.
