DAY FOUR AT THE CORO: SIR JOHN BARROW

There seemed to be children from every school in Ulverston at the Coro today. Most were there for a music concert but the Year One boys and girls from SJB were there to work  on their part of the Green Room project.

The boys and girls began by looking at our aerial photographs and carefully sorting out the bits of fabric and paper that they would need to describe their part of town. We asked them to look for colours and textures, and after first marking our the main roads and street they began to place them on the big white baseboard. 

The line that goes across the board is the railway.  I showed the boys and girls some pieces of old model railway track, and  although they are not properly stuck down yet they make it easier to tell the track from the roads.

Lightburn Park is looking good already, the patchwork of yards and houses in the top half of the piece are taking shape, and one of the boys spotted a missing road leading from under the railway bridge on Victoria Road , so he added it. Well spotted.

So, a great start, plenty to think about before next week and plenty of big and small details to be added. 

Here's the piece after the first day. Well done everyone and see you later.
