Animating Thanet’s pupils to aspire to success.
Wednesday 13 January saw the launch of ‘Getting Animated for Work’ at Upton Junior School. The launch extended an invitation to all primary pupils to transform themselves into animation characters, representing what they would look like in their dream jobs. In doing so they were asked to consider what skills and qualifications they will need to make their dreams a reality. This is part of a competition being run by Kent County Council and Animate & Create. Click here for press release.
