After scaling up a silhouette with the grid method, the children then used collage to layer different etchings together and added detail and shading. They were then tasked with making a stand for their sculpture - to make it stable and freestanding. Although challenging at times, the children enjoyed the process and walking around our 'Edge Hill Gallery,' to appreciate other people's artwork alongside being proud of their own.

18 children took part, showcasing a real range of skills and experience, with some of our players being members of local football teams and others never having played any football before!

Sadly, neither of the two teams progressed to the semi-final stage of the competition, but they played hard and scored some terrific goals, including a hat trick from one of our year 3s!

Well done to all - hopefully this will be one of many times representing school and wearing Edge Hill kit with pride!

On Saturday 30th September 2023, Harriet, Alan, Orla, Arrabella, Maja, Mali and Alexa attended a very special event at the library. The Mayor arrived, we had drinks and nibbles and their work was judged by a working artist from our community. He selected 12 artworks from 25 shortlisted and four of them are the work of our very own Edge Hill artists! Well done Alan, Arrabella, Maja and Alexa.

We can't wait to see the finished calendar! It will be available to download so watch this space (link to follow). In addition to this fantastic reward, the Mayor has extended an invitation to the winners to meet him for a tour of the Town Hall. Intriguing!
