15. Session Four – Working with our partner school Bethersden Primary… We invited some children from Bethersden Primary School to join us on a visit to Turner Contemporary. We started off at Godinton by leading them in some of the activities we had completed with Lucy and Dean and then lead them around the gallery.

16. We explored the ‘Self’ exhibition and enjoyed looking at the self portraits.

17. We enjoyed dressing up too!

18. Since then we have put together a montage of all the things we have investigated about self image. We hope that this will inspire other people to consider who they are. Have a look at the film we have made.

19. Final Presentation Some of our group visited Folkestone Quarterhouse to find out what other schools had done as their ‘Inspire’ project. We too part in some workshops, learnt origami and made pledges that we would help support the Arts in Kent.
