The stained glass windows.

On Tuesday during our visit to the Chapel, Vanessa, Emily and Kaitlyn expressed a particular interest in the stained glass windows. The girls spoke excitedly about the pictures that are in the windows, as well as the stories they tell and the beautiful colours which cast "rainbow shadows" across the chapel seats, when the sun is present. 

"They're very beautiful" Vanessa expressed as she touched one of them carefully. 

The girls were invited to photograph the windows, as well as to sit and draw them. Unfortunately, we had only brought sketching pencils with us to the chapel. The girls each did a pencil sketch of the windows, but it was evident that they weren't satisfied with only these drawings. "I wish we had colours here with us!" Emily shared.

When we returned to the classroom, I invited the girls into the office to print off the photographs of the windows. "I know!" Kaitlyn shared excitedly, "we can do a drawing of the windows from the photo and use colours too!" 

We set up a table in a lovely sunny spot in the garden and the girls worked for nearly an hour on their stunning pictures! Their enthusiasm and perseverance was impressive, as this was a very time consuming project, and the joy which was shared upon completion of the drawings was very special.

The girls are very proud of their drawings and loved taking these down to share with Mrs Brewin.
