Effie
Created by: Church Hill Infant School
Location: Leicester Guildhall- Great Hall
Overview
We based the design on our school values. Each class was given a focus value to create a design for their section of the elephant. The five designs were; Teamwork, Excellence, Being Unique, Kindness and Determination. All of the children were involved in discussions based around the design and Year 1 and 2 pupils produced their own illustrations which lead to the final design.
