The story of the Birches Green Bunting

Earlier this week Giulia and I were working with the Year One children and staff from Birches Green Primary School. As part of a project about Birmingham the children have been learning about canals. Mrs Wildman invited us in to school to lead a special creative session and to talk more about our experiences of working on our boat. The children worked to produce a series of brightly-coloured designs in paper and in fabric.

Today members of IYP worked to turn the children’s fabric designs in to bunting. There were 60 designed in total. This is definitely a work in progress project!
