Nice Bag Lady

“Are you selling?” Teachers have often asked me when I came to school adorning a full plastic carrier bag. As it is common place in Ghana to be doing more than your day job and selling something to make a profit! So it got me thinking, and now I’m off to sell these bags in the UK to try and raise a wee bit of cash for some more exciting art projects and our new reading club.

The designs featured on the ‘Nice Bag’ are the original work of five pupils from the school: Vida, Ebenezer, Adaglo, Bisson and Edmond. They are inspired by traditional woven ‘kente’ patterns and we hope they bring a bit of Ghanaian culture to you.

Butterfly



Class 5A worked in groups using warm and cold colours to complete the patters. They didn’t know what they were making until the pieces were tilled together to reveal the big butterfly that was displayed the end of term exhibition.

Fortune Teller



Everyone at school is on holiday now, but I thought I should show a few of the other things we have done over the past two terms. Here are our origami fortune tellers, an old classic! I just forgot that boys will be boys, I would love to share some of the things they wrote inside but they are just too funny or should I say rude!
