Budding young photographers display photographic talents in local competition
Brent Knoll School pupils have been demonstrating their photography skills during a winter photography competition.
The competition, organised by art subject leader Lucy Beardsley, was a great success with many photos being sent in.
Head teacher Chris Burman says: “The photography competitions we have held in lockdown have proved a really successful way to encourage children to go out on their local walks and to really look hard at the world around them. The pictures have shown some real creativity.”
The winning photo, ‘Winter bridge scene’, pictured at the top of this page, was taken by Max Lambert, 10 who is a year 5 pupil at Brent Knoll School.

A fund set up by parents and teachers at a Bow primary school has raised almost £10,000 to turn a section of the road located outside the school into an extra playground.
The playground would be placed outside Chisenhale Primary School between the Chisenhale Road and Vivian Road junction and would allow longer playtime and PE lessons.
The school is in the process of securing permission from Tower Hamlets Council, which has partially funded the scheme. It is also in the process of developing an arts programme with local organisations, as well as finalising detailed designs for the flexible community space, which includes plans for site security.
