Year 5 Tower Hamlets Art Project

The children in Year 5 took part in an art project organised by Tower Hamlets and a local art group called Artburst. The art project was based on the history of Brick Lane and was a great opportunity for the children to learn about the background of their local environment.

The children heard stories based on the arrival of the Huguenot families from France and then collaboratively wrote their own historical stories. They then used their stories as a basis to create their own collage work. The artists, working with local architects, will then transfer aspects of the designs onto an actual archway that will be constructed at the beginning of Brick Lane. Look out for your work to be shown in public!
