After lunch the class were introduced to their key word - UNITY. Sola and Tony read out dictionary definitions and the children brainstormed the word and its meanings to find: togetherness, linking and friendship amongst others.

The children then gathered around Tony to be shown the screen printing equipment - the screen, the squeegee and inks.

Tony demonstrated how it was used by printing two simple oval shapes that overlapped as a unity symbol.

The pupils then discussed what their symbols might be with Sola and Tony eg. sea life symbols might be dolphins or starfish and human symbols might be linked hands, olympic rings, mother and daughter, etc.

Each child then created their own unity symbol and took it in turn to print it onto a class 'unity' banner.

When they had finished they returned to their seats to draw some of the objects from the handling collection that they had seen in the morning...

... before posing in front of their UNITY banner at the end of the introduction day.
