St Michaels C of E Primary School, London

Making Waves, 2008

The Making Waves programme included twenty-three schools from Enfield, Haringey and Waltham Forest. Each school had to identify a question they wished to explore and ‘answer’ throughout the project. St Michaels question was, What can we do instead? Activities to stimulate ideas included temporary sculptures and installations designed by pupils, themed doorways to classrooms inspired by stories the classes were reading, a ‘Creative Christmas’ event selling items made by the pupils to raise funds for our project.

Other activities included ‘Night School’ – a sleepover for 20 pupils with story telling, shadow puppets, spooky torch-lit walk and midnight feast! Together we explored creative learning, speaking, listening and self-expression and it was a wonderful experience to be part of the team, learning so much at St Michaels.
