CHILDREN at an infant school in Basingstoke have been getting creative for the Jubilee.

The children at Old Basing Infant School have been working with an artist to create a collaborative piece of work to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee.

They drew pictures and then mosaic artist, Paul Siggins, created a design for a mosaic.

Caroline Tuck, the art lead at the Old Basing Infant school has loved doing the project.

She said: "It's been wonderful for all of the children to be involved with this project and for them to have experience of working with a real life artist. We are so excited for the final reveal."

Paul spent a week visiting the shool so that every child could take part in making the mosaic project.

The final creative creation will be installed after half term and the school can't wait to see it proudly displayed outside their main entrance of the school.
