Children of key workers create inspiring artwork

Date published: 07 April 2020

Children of key workers at local primary schools have been creating inspiring artwork.

Those at Harwood Park Primary School in Heywood have been encouraging the local community to keep smiling, keep safe and wash their hands.

The children clubbed together to create a banner which includes all the children’s and staff’s handprints, their name and age to show that everyone needs to work together to overcome coronavirus.

Staff hope to install the banner outside when the weather improves.

The children also made collage rainbows and a smaller banner which were sent to a local hospital to brighten the days of doctors, nurses and patients.

Pupils at St Margaret's CE Primary, Heywood, have shown their appreciation to NHS staff by creating pictures which are now displayed outside the Critical Care Ward at North Manchester General Hospital.

Pupils at St Vincent De Paul, Norden, have created a similar rainbow handprint banner, whilst Caldershaw Primary School created a rainbow ‘thank you NHS’ banner.

Pupils at St Peter’s RC in Middleton created colourful Stay Safe bunting which has been hung up outside the school.

Pupils at Caldershaw Primary School in Norden designed this banner to show their appreciation for the NHS.

Castleton Primary School pupils have made this sign for the fence outside the school.
