The initial phase involved year 1 and year 2 children drawing up their own ideas on a simple elevation drawing of the wall.
This is the final design, composed of several different drawings, with construction grid lines added.
The grid is drawn on the wall with a builder's chalk line and the animals are chalked in.
The chalk outlines are made permanent with black paint
Children paint the wall in groups of 4, rotating every 15 minutes. Ordinary house emulsion paint is used, largely because it is water soluble!
