Airbourne 1998

In March 1998, under the guidance of our Art co-ordinator Miss Donna Steains, a group of children designed a flowerbed to celebrate Airbourne 1998, held in August.

Other work, involving DT and Maths, linked to the theme, can be seen in one of the photos. Two children calculated that the display would need over 4000 plants.

Three children were chosen to help present the display to the judges, and others helped with the planting. The school received a certificate, and a tree to plant in the grounds.

The result can be seen this summer at Holywell, Eastbourne.

These photos show children making the model, some alternative designs, our finished display, and the tree planting.

Soon I hope to have photos of the flower bed itself.
