Autumn
Created by: Ashby Willesley Primary School
Location: Leicester Museum & Art Gallery- Leicester Stories Gallery (downstairs)
Overview
The children at Willesley took part in a fun competition, designing an elephant with their own interests and personalities in mind. Each design was special, showing creativity and pride. A vote was held, and the winning design reflects the changing weathers. Like the changing weathers, our children are bright, thoughtful, full of wonder, and always growing—each one unique, yet beautifully connected to the world around them. We couldn’t have picked a better design to reflect our wonderful children at Willesley.
