Hand-crafted pride!๐จ
Our Head of Art and Design & Technology, Mrs Chadwick, has been working hard with Fairfield pupils to create our fabulous school crests!
These shields are the result of Fairfield`s legacy artworks from our previous Year 6 art week. The pupils were tasked with creating texture rubbings from areas around the school and washing over them with specific colours – red, blue and teal. These papers, and a mix of found magazine papers of the correct colours, were used to collage large-scale versions of our school values shields. The pupils also found lettering from various magazines so they could spell the words "Aspirational, Independent and Mindful" subtly within the designs.
We are so proud of everyone involved in designing, creating and displaying these wonderful shields in our Eadon Hall – a pride of place for many years to come!๐โญ
