Allergies Animation
Last term, Imogen (Year 6) and Aiyana (Year 5) played a key role in creating an animation that skilfully incorporates the voices, images, and real-life experiences of children with allergies. This initiative is dedicated to educating both children and adults about medical conditions, specifically focusing on allergies. From the captivating images to the engaging narration, the girls have done an exceptional job in helping bring this project to life.
