Workshop Eleven!

Having met many of the older children in the hospital school at GOSH, I thought it would be nice to get some of the younger students involved with the Hands On project. The school is divided into two classes for Primary and Secondary aged pupils. I ran a session with the Primary school class.

I spoke to the group about hand washing. They were very knowledgeable and told me everything they could about microorganisms and washing your hands in hospital.

We made a collaborative stop-frame animation putting all of our hands together and making a sequence of movements.








































The group made lots of drawings that will be used in the production of the final animated film about hand washing. They made self-portraits that will come to life in the animation. These portraits will be characters in the film and will reflect the conversations and discussions we had in the session.

The children told me about some of the things they use their hands for and they made more drawings about these activities.
