On Friday 15th September, Miss Mitchell and Mr Simon took a group of students from 9S on a successful trip to the Tate Modern Art Gallery, to take part in a workshop. Last term, the students were part of an art workshop to design and make a banner for the Thames Festival Puzzle Pathway. The students of 9S worked in collaboration with two artists, Shona Watt and Pete Gomez. They worked together to create an art work that was inspired by the Brazilian artist, Beatriz Milhazes. The work was displayed along the Thames Path of the South Bank as part of the Mayor's Thames River Festival (with up to 1 million spectators).

The banner will also be displayed in Kolkata, India as part of the Riverfront Festival (with over 1 million expected spectators) and as part of the 3 Gorges Festival in Chongqing, China (with up to 15 million spectators). The trip was exciting and rewarding for all involved. We are all proud of our international rising stars. Well done !

Students involved were:
Alex Arnez, Rubina Akther, Shakila Ahmed, Muyaheed Ali, Ahmed Ali, Alfa Begum, Darren Boakye-Adjei, Muhaimen Choudhury, Tahmina Tarin, Fadumo Mohamed, Sonia Rahman, Mustafa Razack, Farzana Yasmin and Fatima Begum.
