Claymation, painted potatoes and fun costumes: how students celebrate the arrival of spring

A group of students wearing costumes (soldier, a fox, a lion) posing next to Bluey, a staff member dressed like Waldo and a staff member dressed like an Oompa loompa.
6 March 2025

Today, our amazing staff and students embraced the magic of storytelling by dressing up as their favorite book characters. From Wally and Cruella to beloved classic heroes, Inscape House School and Bridge College were buzzing with creativity.

At Bridge College, staff surprised students with creative costumes that transformed them into characters. Throughout the day the Bridge Library was open for readers to visit, browse and share their favourite books! 

Staff dressed up as Cat in the Hat, Cruella, Where's Wally, Belle and a hamburger.

Over in the Inscape Library, our expert librarian Jenna put together an exciting line-up of book-themed activities. Students and staff were encouraged to dress up as their favourite character and join book reading sessions. We even spotted a secret guest: Bluey! 

Alongside costumes, students were able to enter a potato decorating competition. Through paint, glitter, fake hair and other decorations, they transformed potatoes into characters like Yoda from Star Wars, Captain Underpants, Shrek and more. 

A collage of 3 images: a student holding up a box showcasing his decorated potato: a turtle. Another photo shows a group of decorated potatoes. The third photo shows 2 staff members dressed like ALice in Wonderland and the queen of hearts from the same story.

Back in the Main Hall, some students took part in an exciting Stop Motion Animation workshop held by Michael from Animation Nation. He talked students through all the steps including story boarding, setting the scene, getting the right shots, frame rates and more. 

Collage of 3 images: first of a student dressed like mario holding a small clay mario he made, a student dressed like toad holding a small clay toad she made and a photo of both of them working together setting up their figurines.
Marie, Careers Teacher at Inscape House School says “It’s amazing to introduce pupils to creative careers from such a young age. It might be a career that they hadn’t even considered. Practicing animation is helping their creativity and focus too.”
