• BookBench Update

  Thu 09 Apr 2020 Miss Mace
  We have been making progress on sculpture 2 this week…
  This is our 'Proud To BEE Different' BookBench, inspired by the BEE values of our school. 🐝
  Lots of our pupils created design ideas for the sculpture expressing that it should represent our school and the local community. This design brings their ideas to life combining notions of uniqueness and care for the natural world. It features individually decorated bees, our bee value handprints and rare bee orchids which are found within our locality.
  A big thank you to all the children who have contributed to this design! Your design ideas and application of super delicate brush work has created amazingly intricate details! Well done everyone!

  

• BookBench Update

  Mon 06 Apr 2020 Miss Mace
  LDCS entered a design competition to win a BookBench sculpture to decorate with designs inspired by journeys, adventure and freedom - themes all found in a good book! The sculptures will feature in an art trail across Nottinghamshire.
  
  Take a look at our BookBench journey so far…
  Sculpture 1 entitled ‘Adventure Is Just A Page Away…’
  This sculpture was inspired by a love of reading for pleasure. It is a celebration of the freedom that reading brings, creating space in our minds for creativity, happiness and relaxation. It represents how, with the turn of every page, we get lost in words finding ourselves meandering into adventures and magical worlds.Featuring a landscape of rolling hills below a blue sky in which colourful kites dance freely, this design idea was adapted from a competition entry by one of our Year 6 pupils.
  Once the trail has ended, the BookBenches will return to school. What an inspirational place to sit and read with school friends!
