Wood Farm Primary School in Headington held a month-long Arts and Literary Month featuring workshops with artists, writers and engineers.
Wood Farm Primary School in Headington recently held its Arts and Literary Month, a month-long creative festival bringing pupils face-to-face with artists, writers, political leaders and engineers through a packed programme of workshops and talks.
Comic book artist Neill Cameron led a hands-on workshop introducing pupils to visual storytelling, where they learned how to develop characters and construct narratives through illustration. The festival also featured the work of artist Yinka Shonibare OBE, brought to the school by the Bodleian Libraries. This artwork inspired pupils to take part in the school's international festival, where they showcased their heritage.
Beyond the arts, pupils heard from Baroness Barker of the House of Lords and spoke with NASA engineer John Graf in a session organised by Primary Engineer, offering insights into careers in public service and space engineering. Nick Stanton, a Year 5 class teacher, said the school had been working closely with the University and others across the city to give children a 'top quality curriculum' and was already seeing the impact of the events in the children's writing and art.
