The art of Warriors

A group of Wildlife Warriers have teamed up with a local artist to help brighten their school garden.

The after-school club at Surfleet Primary School wanted to really make a difference to the garden they tend.

So the school approached charity Transported Arts and Moulton artist Emily Bowers.

She worked with the children over a number of weeks on the design that was painted and finally unveiled last week at the school’s summer fair.

Some of the designs were also turned into metalwork displays to go in among the garden’s numerous plants.

“The kids loved the project,” said June Thompson, who oversees the Wildlife Warriors group. “It was just a boring green shed and it was the children’s idea to brighten it up.

“All of the images relate to things the Wildlife Warriors experienced during sessions.

“One day it was raining and all of us had to fit in the shed which is where we saw the rainbow.

“Another day we were looking for birds and a flock of long-tailed tits came down. The children said they’d not seen them before.”

Artist Emily, who handed out individual home made thank you cards to everyone involved, said: “It’s been a joy to work with the Wildlife Warriors.

“I’m going to miss the Monday evenings working with them all but I’m glad there’s something to mark the work in the community.”
