A few weeks ago we went to Fernwood Junior School to help them celebrate their ‘Community Day’. There seemed to be lots going on, but we barely had time to investigate as we were busy working with Year 5 to make four monstrous multicultural masterpieces!
We started with four local landmarks: the school, the war memorial, the park, and the library, then tasked the children with populating them with the most diverse community imaginable...a community where everyone is welcome regardless of how many legs, arms, eyes, or noses they have, or whether they are covered in fur, scales, or slime.
There were just 2 rules:
- No colouring in. All monsters must be drawn in black pen on white paper.
- Each monster had to feature 1 coloured detail, either the school logo, a poppy, a woolly hat or scarf, or a book, depending on which place they were stood outside.
The children took to it brilliantly, creating a multicultural community of hundreds of hilarious, happy monsters.
They even sent us a thank you card!
