It’s amazing what can be achieved with time, skill, hard work and some imagination… Take a look how children from St Anne’s Catholic Primary School, Streetly, (with a bit of help from Mrs Acton) created a magnificent handmade banner celebrating the Olympics using fabrics (and other crafty bits) from the Hole in the Wall Curtains!

• From the start of this exciting Olympic themed project all of the St Anne’s pupils got involved. The first challenge was to come up with some ideas that could be used on the final banner. As you can see, they weren’t short of inspiration…
• Once a design was finalised the St Anne’s pupils, under the expert tuition of Mrs Acton, set about making their masterpiece…
• Students used a range of different techniques and materials to create their Olympic banner. The pupils sewed and glued felt letters to the banner to help spell out what the Olympics, and representing St Anne’s, meant to them!
• Following a lot of hard work from all pupils and staff concerned the banner neared completion and was readied for its grand unveiling!
• SUCCESS!! Here is the completed banner at its first public event?! The pupils took their Olympic banner to the Alexander Stadium where they represented their school (against others from the Walsall area) in a track and field day. Together with looking amazing, the banner also inspired the St Anne’s kids into an overall 1st place…
