CHILDREN at The Mead Primary School near Trowbridge have made two large mosaics with an Australian theme.

The Year 1 pupils had an arts week at the beginning of term which included a visit from artist Anita Andrews.

They learnt how to make mosaics and decided to create two words from the school’s vision statement ‘safety’ and ‘happiness’.

One picture shows a koala bear climbing up a tree away from an animal below and the other shows birds and butterflies flying around.

The mosaics are made on a wood base from broken up pieces of tile which were glued and then grouted in place.

Art coordinator Leanne Jones said: “The children loved it, they enjoyed learning something new.”

The arts week was paid for partly through West Wiltshire District Council’s Participatory Arts Workshop Scheme (PAWS).
