Last week, WPSfB students visited Bannockburn Primary for Art Week, where Miss Adebolu and Year 9 Art Ambassadors provided valuable support. The visit proved to be a great success, with Year 5 students demonstrating impressive engagement and producing high-quality work.
The Year 9 students represented Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys exceptionally well, showcasing leadership and enthusiasm that made both their school and teachers proud.
The Tonal Drawing lesson featured three tasks - shading techniques, tonal grids, and tonal drawing - allowing the younger students to develop their artistic skills effectively. Their positive attitude, well-mannered approach, and dedication to their work were commendable, especially for their age. The experience highlighted the importance of creative learning and collaboration, reinforcing the benefits of artistic expression in education.
Zion, a Year 9 Ambassador who participated in the event, shared the following remarks:
'I was part of the group of students chosen who went along to support Ms Adebolu and Ms Wiltshire from the art department at Bannockburn primary school. It was a Tonal drawing lesson, and we assisted with handing out resources as well as supporting the students individually while they completed the lesson. The work was very good quality even though they were just Yr5 pupils. The experience has developed my leadership skills for the future.'
It’s absolutely brilliant to see the secondary school students from the boys’ school teaming up with our primary school pupils within the trust. There’s something truly special about watching older students take on the role of mentors, sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm. These experiences not only inspire creativity but also foster meaningful relationships, weaving a strong sense of unity throughout our school community.
