Chalk Drawing

In 2021, artist Ei Arakawa transformed the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern into a living artwork, inviting visitors to sketch, doodle, and draw across the floor. Inspired by this and Ei Arakawa’s idea of ‘drawings being combined with the drawings of others’, Year 7 students explored mark-making techniques and the use of complementary colours to reimagine the school landscape through pattern and colour. Their work developed into a collaborative artwork that transformed the environment with vibrant visual expression.

The project also had a secondary interactive element where teachers and students from BGS were invited to walk through the installation, observing the artwork and sharing their comments and reflections as they experienced the evolving creative space.

Overthink the good stuff too

Remember this:

If you can overthink the worst, you can overthink the best too.

Replay the moments that went right.
Zoom in on the little things that make you happy.
Overthink the good stuff too.

'What I wish my parents or carers knew…': a guide for parents and carers on children's digital lives from the Children's Commissioner

The Children's Commissioner, Dame Rachel de Souza, has published a guide to help parents and carers navigate the challenge of managing children's everyday online habits. Written with direct input from children and young people, including teenagers consulted in schools and the Commissioner's Youth Ambassadors. The guide is designed to make difficult conversations easier and more regular.

The guide covers setting boundaries around phone use, talking about harmful content, and building ongoing communication that goes beyond a one-off conversation. The voice of young people runs through it, including this from one teenager: "Don't be afraid to be firm… If you are worried your child is seeing harmful content, and you don't know what they're watching, and it's affecting their behaviour, just take it that you know best, they don't."
