My Favourite Thing!
Spring 2020: through the eyes of young people
Whilst we are all staying close to home, our immediate surroundings and belongings take on an extra significance.
Over Easter, we challenged children and young people to capture this moment by taking a photo of their favourite thing in these unusual times.
We’re delighted with the results, which show that getting out into nature, being with our families and, of course, teddies are helping to keep us happy.
We’ve been lucky that all the sunshine allowed such creative use of shadows, too!
A big thank you to all the creative young photographers who took part – Ethan, Imogen, Ted, Rupert, Chloe, Casper, Isobel, Nathan, Evie, Lincoln, Wade, Jasmine, Martha, James, Abigail, Ella, Elisabet, Niamh, Lucia, Jesse, Eadie and Maya.
