Top Trumps Growing Up Game 'Changing Faces' celebrates local children's creative work as part of an arts and personal, social and health education project delivered in Elmore Green School, Green Rock School, Leamore School and Little Bloxwich School in the New Deal area. Throughout the academic year, children in years 4 & 5 were involved in a puberty health education project working with professional artists on a programme of creative workshops and activities. Through drama, visual arts, and graphic design children were supported to explore the physical, emotional and social changes experienced as they grow up. This event on the 29th celebrates the work of all the schools through showing the 'Changing Faces' Top Trumps game and virtual world website the result of lots of hard work, creativity, ideas and enthusiasm from the children, teaching staff and arts workers.
