Nursery children at The Milford Academy in Dungannon Road, Clifton, have been enjoying a newly refurbished reading corner, as part of the school’s ongoing commitment to help children develop a love of stories from an early age. The children can access the cosy ‘book nook’ at any time during indoor play, and it has proved very popular.

On Monday 8^th November, Year3 pupils explored willow weaving in a workshop with artist Christine Burdin. During the workshop, we learnt a lot about weaving, how willow is farmed and how it is a sustainable material. We learnt how to weave a willow leaf. We also added our willow leaves to a school willow sculpture on the yard. 

Laura Eldret, our school artist has been working in the library with 2 technicians from the Nottingham Contemporary Gallery. They're putting into place actions led by pupils:-

The library font has been designed by pupils working with a graphic designer.

The vinyl leaves have been designed by pupils inspired by library books and then cut by technicians.

KS2 Pupils will be adding gold leaf finger -prints to the walls.
