Year 3/4 Base 2 took part in the Newton Abbot ‘My Place’ community art project. The project involves local schools and other community groups in putting together artwork depicting different aspects of Newton Abbot’s history to coincide with the development of Newton’s Place, a community hub which will include the new Museum. Each group is responsible for one subject; the subjects range from the Middle Ages to World War II, and include the lives of various local notables. Year 3/4 artwork was based on our topic World War II.
The artwork will be displayed on panels attached to hoardings around a development site in the town centre, and will also be used in a fold-out book for use in schools and elsewhere. The aim is for the children to develop a greater understanding of the town’s heritage.
