Yesterday evening our study turned into something akin to Father Christmas’ workshop – paints, pots, bits of wood and glue… All because we are starting our postcard competition soon. And Sarah wanted to build our own postbox for it. We think it looks great – see below 🙂 We’ll post more details soon but the idea is to grab one of our empty postcards and draw on it your favourite thing about your neighbourhood. For those who rather use words, write a message on the card to let us know what you love most about where you live. And check back here for news!
Our film is all about Pride of Place. We want to show what people love about their neighbourhood. But how do we establish what makes people proud of where they live? How do we know where they go to have fun? Well, Sarah spends a lot of time chatting with people, getting to know them, and together we map the community. Quite literally – look at the images below: participants draw their favourite spots on the map, and leave commments to tell us more. Fancy having your say? Sign up here and join us
Ben and Sarah had a fabulous time talking to visitors at the Space Odyssey Planetarium – an exploration of space right here in Whipton! The organisers welcomed them warmly and it was fabulous to see so many people eager to learn more about space and all its mysteries! For those interested, here’s the link to the Space Odyssey project.
