420 handprints = 4 palm trees

The Grafton Junior School mural continues apace.

At last, after being rained off for days (I know, in English summertime, who'd have thought it?), I was finally able to get round to painting the children's hands to form the leaves of the trees. I'd painted one tree for each year, years 3-6 at the school. All 420 children got involved, with each child adding their own handprint to the wall for posterity. Most of the teachers and staff at the school joined in too, including the headmaster.

I've also added a few details to the leaves, plants and flowers, and painted the giraffe and the chameleon. Though you may not be able to spot him. He's very good at hiding you know.





Miss Holloway from Year Six gets involved



Can you tell which band she'd been to see the night before?




The red flowers on the plants are also handprints
