Teacher Charlotte Powell, of Cardwell Primary, found the experience an excellent way for children to learn about transferring ideas into pictures. She felt that they had really increased their knowledge of the local environment. She also found it very interesting working with other teachers and pupils from local schools within their cluster group.
