Crafting Seawigs with St Mary's C.E. Primary School

MMU Volunteers at St Mary's C.E. Primary School

Preparation for the Family Fun Day on June 28th has commenced! The stars of the Seawig Parade, from St Mary’s C.E. Primary School, have started to create their Seawigs for the big day. Debra Conroy from Community and Cultural Services at Manchester City Council will lead the creative sessions along with the extremely talented Ann Lam and Manchester Metropolitan University volunteers Colette, Rachel and Rosie. 

On Friday 6th June, class 5M designed their Seawigs with colourful pictures and labels shown in the picture below. There were so many fantastic ideas, from diamonds and treasure, to goggles and seaweed hair. The children will be using decorations provided by Manchester City Council and recycled materials to bring their drawings to life. The classroom was a hive of activity, we can’t wait to see how sun hats and starfish will look on the blue and green curly wigs the children will model in the parade at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Class 5M will also be writing book reviews on Oliver and the Sea Monkeys as part of their homework assignments. You will be able to read many of the reviews here – so be sure to keep an eye out for more of St Mary’s wonderful work!
