Children at a Workington school have been busy getting creative in order to host their annual art exhibition.

Victoria Infant and Nursery School opened the school to parents and carers on June 14 to let them enjoy a Workington themed exhibition in a variety of mediums.

The focus was historical Workington, looking at local landmarks.

Megan Arthur, art and design technology coordinator at the school said: "The children have worked hard to use different media to create beautiful art work."

She said the two year old nursery children created a 3D model of Jane Pit and three year old nursery children created pictures of the Workington War memorial Cenotaph using wax crayons and craft sticks. They also sketched pictures of Navis bridge and made a 3D model of the clock from the town centre.

Reception children used charcoal to sketch pictures of Jane Pit and made a 3D model too.

Year 1 children used coloured pencils to sketch pictures of St Michael's church and made a 3D model with individual stained glass windows made by each child.

Year 2 children used poster paint to create a washed background for silhouettes of Curwen Castle and also made a 3D model of the castle.

Megan said: "The children thoroughly enjoyed showcasing their art work to their parents and carers, they also enjoyed face painting and tea, coffee, juice and biscuits in the cafe.

"Each child also made a piece of art work that was sold on the day as part of our Enterprise project."

The school's headteacher Vicki Hepburn-Fish said the school had worked with St Michael's church and displayed artwork at the church for two weeks, then let parents appreciate the work too.

She said the project was really successful and items made by the pupils as part of their Enterprise project are sold to parents and carers with the money benefitting the pupils. The children decide themselves what the money is to be used for, such as developing their outdoor facilities.

"The two week arts celebration gives the children the opportunity to get their hands into a project and get to earn about the technical issues.

"They do enjoy it, especially taking their parents around when we open up the school to show them their artwork," she added.
