The Bigger Picture
Pupils from Moordown St John’s, Muscliffe, St Marks and St Michaels Primary Schools in Bournemouth worked together to create a ‘living’ picture to celebrate Bournemouth’s Bicentenary.
The picture depicting the unique landscape of Bournemouth incorporating, the river Bourne, and our golden beaches and sea, also featured pine trees and some of Bournemouth’s iconic buildings and landmarks such as the balloon located in Bournemouth Square. Reception to Year 6 children created hats and costumes that interpreted these elements of the landscape. They also incorporated song and dance in a performance, with a finale uniting the children to become a contemporary landscape of Bournemouth.
The ‘living’ picture was photographed from the air and made into a commemorative postcard of the occasion.
This ambitious project co-ordinated by Room 13 Xtreme Arts Studio and choreographed by Dance for All was celebrated at AFC Bournemouth on the 26th May 2010.
