Hampi
Created by: Bridge Junior School
Location: LCB Depot – Window
Overview
The children at Bridge Junior captured their favourite elements of Leicester, our school, ethos, community and culture to design our baby elephant named Hampi. Their detailed ideas were illustrated by hand on Hampi’s royal coat. Hampi is a real reflection of our pupils, staff and community, creative and colourful, resilient and reciprocal. Bridge Junior School hope Hampi is loved and adored by all during the Stomp Round Leicester Trail.
