Parlaunt Park visit Slough Museum

Gifted and Talented art students from Year 3, 4 and 5 at Parlaunt Park visited Slough Museum on Wednesday 25th June for a fun day of art activities inspired by the museum's collection.

The art project we are working on is all about the different cultures and communities who live in Slough. People from all over the world come to Slough to make it their home so we can find out all about different cultural art forms without even having to get on a plane!

We learnt all about Polish Pisanki Easter eggs and learnt about how they are hollowed out and decorated. We even designed our own egg candles using wax pens!



We also talked about the religious festival of Diwali which is celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains. We made our own rangoli sand art and made clay diyas which are used to hold candles for Diwali - which is also known as the festival of lights!
