"A medley of bags from the Year 6 class I worked with at Sir John Barrow, what a fabulously creative and determined class they were."
(Lex)
This is the last week at SJB and as Lexi's project ends we hear that the children will be loading up their new Drawstring Bags with souvenirs of their time in Year Six.
I called in today to catch what was Lexi's final session, and the last of our whole programme.
The plan was to demonstrate new skills that could be revisited and re-applied as the children progress through school, and to provide the school staff with some thorough and process-based lesson plans that can be used, re-used, adapted and re-adapted. 
Alex, Lexi, Dominic and me have all enjoyed our time at SJB enormously. We all believe wholeheartedly in the value of the arts at all levels of education and we will do anything we can to support our local schools in their efforts to introduce and develop art and craft skills in our young people, along with the early signposting that might just set someone out there on a career path.
We hope we can keep the relationship going; we will be meeting soon to discuss how it can be done.
In the meantime, show off those bags, soon-to-be erstwhile Year Sixers, and get some use out of them. Lovely work.
