Thanks to an Oxfordshire school, now you can. The duo may be famed for their involvement in Blackadder and QI, Newsnight and University Challenge, but now they have lent their well-known voices to a school project. Their imitations of trees is part of an upcoming virtual tree trail at Cheney School in Headington. Lorna Robinson, director of the Rumble Museum and Iris Classics Centre at the school, said: “All of the trees in the trail have a voiceover – most of them are staff but there’s well-known people such as Stephen Fry and Jeremy Paxman too. “Those voicing the trees talk about the history of their tree, how the wood of the tree is used, and how they appear in myths and fairytales.
SECONDARY school pupils have created a graphic novel which portrays Greek gods in modern-day Oxford. Year 8 students at Cheney School have been working on the project since September of last year, and after months of hard work, their story is available to view online. The project has seen them design, write and illustrate a graphic novel depicting the primordial Greek gods in 21st century Oxford. Pupils learnt about the different primordial gods, explored the art form of the graphic novel, and looked at how ancient characters have been imagined in different settings. They then chose characters and storylines, and worked together as a group to decide how to plan the story and what to call it.
