Willow Primary is a friendly, vibrant two form entry primary academy in Bessacarr, Doncaster with over 400 children aged 4 to 11. In their exploration of heritage and community, Year 5 pupils engaged in an in-depth study of the River Don and the ecological significance of salmon. This topic inspired them to investigate the work of local scrap metal artist Jason Heppenstall, whose sculptures captivated their imaginations. Motivated by his artistic vision, they then created their own leaping salmon paintings using watercolour techniques. They skillfully employed a range of light and dark tones to enhance the realism of their artwork, showcasing their creativity and understanding of the subject matter.
