Collaging with Neal Layton

This week, Year 4 got the opportunity to meet and create with the renowned illustrator, Neal Layton. Team Cialis created some amazing collage work with Neal based on his illustrations for John Hegley's book, Stanley's Stick.

On Wednesday, Year 4 joined primary schools from across Thanet at the Children's Book Show at St Lawrence College. This was an amazing opportunity for the children to celebrate books and learn more about the process that goes in to creating a picture book. The children who attended the show also received 2 free books.

On Thursday, Neal Layton came in to school and worked with the children to teach them how to create interesting scenes using collaging. Neal also did a live draw of the character Stanley, which he has kindly gifted to the school.

The children created some amazing eye-catching work that we are now displaying above our book corner.
