Visit to Paul Mellon Centre and Bedford Square

Monday, June 1st:

Year 5 and Year 6 pupils from St George the Martyr School visited the Paul Mellon Centre for the Study of British Art as part of the Buildings and Spaces project. Once inside this magnificent Georgian building, the pupils became architectural detectives, looking for interesting details and shapes that might provide inspiration for their garden design project. Pupils photographed interior details, from fantastic fanlights to blossoming balustrades, and considered how the rooms were once used. Afterwards, pupils enjoyed a rare opportunity to visit the private, leafy, green gardens of Bedford Square, sketching the plants and shapes around them.
