On the afternoon of the final day a joint performance was arranged to celebrate the end of the project at Rectory Paddock and also Kemnal Technology College. Tony started the proceedings by introducing the Banner Book outcome from Project 1. |

![]() | Each pupil had also screen printed and sewed a bag into which their individual poems had been placed. Some read their poems before ceremoniously hanging their bags onto the inside of the book thereby empowering it. |
Pupils from both schools posed before the camera before the book was finally closed. |

Next it was Rectory Paddock's turn to show the screen printed artwork they had produced. Pupils circled the room and some posed for the camera with their project partners. These individual pages make up the split page HARMONY book. |

Working with Sola over the project, the Kemnal pupils interviewed their Rectory partners and helped them collect words about masks. These were then made into acrostic poems or short pieces and read out together at the performance. Also some pupils from Rectory Paddock read out acrostic poems that they had produced separately or in groups with Sola around names, referring to favourite things. See examples featured in the above pop-up window. |
Adjectives were used and explored throughout the project to describe emotions, often referring back to the visit to the "African Worlds" exhibition. An example of this was where a Kemnal pupil interviewed their Rectory partner about what they had seen at the Horniman Museum. The Rectory pupil had observed a pig on a mask which made them feel grumpy and so a poem was written based around this which was read out at the performance. |
