Schoolchildren marvel at history project turned into a picture montage

ART HISTORY: A tile frieze in the shape of a dove has been installed at a school.

Pupils at Oakhill Primary School, in Trent Vale, created the piece, which celebrates history, with arts group Hullabaloo as part of 'Sharing Stories'.

The Holly Class came up with the design after working on a project with pensioners who go to Blythe Bridge and Tean OAP lunch clubs.

The children took part in story-telling, puppetry, animation and clay modelling before producing the final tile frieze, which took pride of place at the school yesterday.

Before that it was on display as part of an exhibition showcasing the pupils' work at a number of venues across Staffordshire.

The project was funded by an Awards For All grant secured by Hullabaloo and Oakhill Primary. Seven-year old Jessica Houghton is seen with the tile frieze.
