On Thursday 7^th of April we shall be holding an event after school in the Main and Community Halls celebrating the conclusion to our Ferry Lane Identity Project. Make sure you’re there!

Over the last half term parents, children, governors, teachers and support staff have been thinking about what it is that makes them the person that they are – culture, friends, family, experiences and so on. We then asked everyone to try and think of an object that would represent what it is that defines them. Each person was then photographed with their item and then had to design a little poster which included their photograph and a brief written description of their object and why it was important to them. I chose a strange little vase that had belonged to my grandparents. A whole range of objects were chosen from Turkish instruments, Ghanaian cloth, special coins and National costumes to jewellery and photographs. Ms Pattison chose her childhood Teddy…

We have put up the posters all around the school and they look fabulous as you can see#

We are delighted to have this opportunity to celebrate the diversity of our school community and will be looking forward to the exhibition. In addition to the Identity work guests will be able to look at the KS2 topic work that will also be on display – we have already had a sneak preview of Year 4’s Iron Man models which are terrific. International Food will be provided by Parents who always do us proud at these events. What a wonderful conclusion to the Spring Term.
