Catch of the day
A giant fi sh created by Canterbury College students, and saved by a #savethefi sh Twitter campaign, helped celebrate the recent Children’s Art Week at Turner Contemporary. After travelling to Margate by truck, schoolchildren decorated the fi sh with hundreds of brightly coloured paper plates whilst learning about recycling, marine conservation and the impact of dumping rubbish in our oceans. Jenny Scott, Education Offi cer, said: “The students designed and
delivered a fantastic sea-themed workshop. I was so impressed with how wonderful the students were with the children.”
