Pixie Bo
Created by: Wigston Multi Academy Trust
Location: Highcross Upper Mall – opposite Boots
Overview
The whole school set for homework the task of designing the elephant, from submissions of students, our design was created. Their brief was to include some music and sport and some of the schools core values. Four students set to work with the support of their teacher drawing and painting Pixie Bo. As the design developed, you can clearly see students thoughts and ideas painted. We are very proud of the students that gave so much of their free time to this amazing project.
