Wood Sculptures in Court Farm Woods

Becky Bryson and Carole trenaman have had the privilege of working with Halewood C of E Primary school in gathering their ideas for new wood sculptures in Court Farm Woods.
Years 4 and 5 shared their ideas with us, and we took their drawings to incorporate into some fantastic new creations. The carvings were executed by two great carvers, Mike and Andy Burgess.

Year 4's ideas centred on the woods being a place for wildlife. It being a fun, friendly place, to go with lots to see.

So their sculpture incorporated lots of images of things that lived in the woods and their usefulness.

One child wrote “You are always welcome here” which we thought should show on one of the faces.

A beehive hanging from

  a branch, showing our reliance on the work the bees do, is to be placed on the second side.

Finally, a butterfly, fungi, and snail make their home on the third side.
