Art tells the Story- Ranelagh Teams up with V&A East
In 2025 , the V&A is coming to Stratford and Ranelagh could not be more excited. Year 5 children were asked to collaborate on an art project with the museum and Arts Matters . Mrs Bahra , Ranelagh's Art Lead, enthusiastically agreed.
On 6th March, Year 5 pupils - Romilly, Anastasia, Luana, Shabiha, Martin and Aaliyah - visited Ellen Wilkinson School to take part in 'Our Stories...' each of the children demonstrated their family stories through art
They brought their own materials to tell their story.
Can you spot the 'A Child's Beach Dream' or our budding fashion designer of the future, who designed her own T.shirt.
'I asked Luana to tell me the story of her artwork ,' said Miss Monya, 'and there, with every layer of fabric and ruched linen, a story enfolded of Luana's family history which took us back to São Tomé and Príncipe . Luanna's pride in this was wonderful to hear. '
As you can see by the photos, all the children have amazing stories to tell.
