The Elephant in The Room

As some of you may have read in our previous post of Our School's Project, the first week started off with lots of excitement!  And the excitement was definitely high during the students last week with us.  Please find below how the students found the project.  You will also find the final photographs of the collaborative piece of artwork between the students and the patients based on Terry Kettering's poem, 'The Elephant in the Room'.
