We have now come to the end of the first term of our partnership with Fotosynthesis, funded by Walcot Foundation and Awards for All, exploring Maths through Photography. 4 classes took part in activities involving precise measurement and learning about shape. The children made pinhole cameras, took photographs with them, developed their photos in a pop-up darkroom in school and discovered shapes all around them using digital cameras. The project worked with classes of year 3. The children really enjoyed the project and we are currently compiling case study and evaluation on the project to see how the work has impacted on their maths learning. From February Fotosynthesis will work with younger children (Reception) using Photography for literacy learning in some of our schools.

Last week children from 5 of our primaries continued making art work for public display, inspired by the Lost Rivers theme of London Wildlife Trust. The children have been making pieces for an exhibition at Pop Brixton on Brixton Station Road that will open on 10th December and run until the New Year. In addition, tiles made by the children will form a permanent piece of art in the Milkwood Road/Lowden Road roundabout. Thanks to Miss Littlejones and Miss Adesigbin for teaching the children and bringing out their amazing talents.

Today saw the culmination of the Black Georgians poetry, cartoon drawing and history project that children from BLC have been taking part it this term. The project has been generously funded by Clore Duffield Foundation and the Ernest Cook Trust. Today the fabulous work that the children have produced about Black Georgian characters was on exhibition at the Black Cultural Archives for the children to see. The exhibition will remain there tomorrow, Saturday, giving the opportunity for the children to visit with their families as well as giving a chance for the children to expertly guide their families around the main BCA exhibition: The Black Georgians. It is open from 10am – 6pm on 5th December and well worth a visit. Well done to all the year 5 children that took part and many thanks to their teachers for supporting them to produce such good work.
