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

As the festival draws even closer, class 5M of St Mary’s CE Primary School are working away on their Seawigs for the Parade at the Festival Family Fun Day.

The amount of materials the children were presented with would overwhelm anyone, but they got stuck in straight away, sharing all the crafts and helping one another fix all the parts together. They filled plastic fish with coloured sand, made trees and food from paper, stuck jewellery and even sunglasses on the wigs to channel the sea theme. 

Our MCBF volunteers were on hand to help with any glitter or glue related emergencies, and provided recycled cardboard and plastic to add to the mountain of materials. As always, the class were a delight and so creative - we were very impressed by all of their ideas. Many of the pupils went as far to make necklaces and chains to match their wigs! 

Next week the children will be visiting the Powerhouse Library to practice the parade, finish their wigs and to have a reading from Oliver and the Seawigs book itself.
