Elm enter Birds in Flight competition

After being awarded a 3rd prize place last year,  in the Birds in Flight competition, Elm class have been invited to partake in the competition again! ( No pressure!)

The competition is run by The Cameron Bespolka Trust - a trust that was set up in memory of a former pupil at pilgrims' School. The competition is a superb opportunity to encourage children to be curious about nature, observe wildlife and explore their art skills.

As a class, we decided that we would like to observe and draw garden birds. Using white card, charcoal and dark pencils we created silver-birch like tree branches, ready for our birds to perch on. With water colours, black ink and crayons, we painted several pieces of paper and waited for them to dry. Once dry, we then cut out simple shapes which we could layer up to make our birds.

The competition closes on the 28th February! Wish us all luck!
