Students getting creative in lockdown

Students have been capturing stunning shots on camera and getting creative in the kitchen by whipping up delicious meals and desserts.

Lockdown has done little to dampen students’ creative spark as they put their photography, cooking and baking skills to the test.

Members of the school’s Year 9 Photography Club - which was launched in January - have captured dozens of images during lockdown which have now been used to create a stunning display in school ready for students’ return.

Each week students are given a new theme and submit their work for the chance of being named Photographer of The Week.

Themes so far have included ‘welly walk’, ’still life’, ‘black & white’, ‘food glorious food’ and ‘objects in ice’ - which saw them use trays, Tupperware and balloons to freeze their objects in before capturing the process of the ice melting.

Ms P Thomson, who runs the club, said: “Photography Club was launched in January during lockdown as a digital platform to share creativity through photography.

“The club is a really fun way for students to get creative - and all students need is a camera phone. The standard so far has been amazing, and we’ve had some incredible photographs submitted. It is great to now see some of them on display in school.”

Meanwhile, students from all year groups have also been showcasing their culinary skills by whipping up a range of tasty treats, including homemade bread, pasta dishes and cakes.
