A Very Generous Donation!


This week, we were incredibly lucky to have a special gift from The Dulwich Picture Gallery. We visited the M.C. Escher exhibition at the gallery last term and produced some beautiful artwork.

The Dulwich Picture Gallery have very generously given us a stunning piece of artwork, produced by our local community, which was inspired by the M.C. Escher exhibition. It is a spectacular mosaic metamorphosis made entirely from LEGO!

We all love our new artwork at St. Anthony's and feel very lucky to have it in our school!


During lunchtime on Wednesday, we put up some posters asking all of our children to write the first word that came to mind when they looked at the picture. Later that day, St. Clare's wrote sentences to explain our reaction to, or inspired by, the Lego masterpiece!




Next half term, we will hold a creative project inspired by our new artwork- linking Writing, Maths and Art- alongside other subjects! Hooray!

The donation was really kind. I thought it took like a week to do it but I was surprised when Mrs Parrott told us it only took ONE evening.
