Charlestown Community Primary School, Manchester

This week we recieved an email from Charlestown Community Primary, telling us all about their Mackenzie inspired 'Shaped Sheep' project.
Here's some photos of their fantastic artwork!

We really like their pictures and the way they have interpreted the square sheep. Great Work!

Fantastic Stories!!!

Yesterday, Alice and Bee Boy recieved a package full of stories from Middleham Primary.

We promised them a signed 2012 Mackenzie Thorpe Calender for our favourite story.

We are still reading through them all and it's so difficult to pick our favourite!

We will pick one soon! But for now here is some of their brilliant work.

ACCESS MACKENZIE COMPETITION!!!

Here's all the details of our Brand New Competition!

Bee Boy can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Tom and Mackenzie

Here's a great photo of Tom from Richmond C of E Primary, when he met Mackenzie at Arthaus in December. What a brilliant picture!
Have you ever met Mackenzie? Or had your picture taken with him? Let us know!
Hope to see you again soon Tom!

Bee Boy meets Middleham Primary!

Yesterday Bee Boy and Alice visited Middleham C of E Primary School and had a fantastic day out! We sat in the hotseat, answered lots of questions, talked about different Mackenzie sculptures and saw the brilliant artwork Class 2 have been working on. Bee Boy was a bit shy at first but the children were very friendly!



Thanks to all the children for your questions and enthusiasm, and to Mrs Monaghan for inviting us. Hopefully Bee Boy and Alice will see you very soon!

We've been all over the papers!

Did you see us in the news this week? Alice and Bee Boy have been making headlines!

We've been letting the world know about Access Mackenzie and the work we do with schools and the community.

Did you get a copy?

Middleham Primary School

This week Middleham Primary School have been working on a brilliant Mackenzie inspired French project!
They have been creating their own animal pictures inspired by Mackenzie, to help learn the names of the animals in French. Using pastels and different coloured backgrounds, the children have been experimenting with different ways to draw animals and we think they have done an excellent job!

The children are also working on some writing, answering the question "If Mackenzie Thorpe were to do a painting of you, which animal would you be and why?" What a wonderful project! We can't wait to read about your animals!

Have a look at Middleham Primary's blog for more info on their projects: http://middlehampri2.posterous.com/

A big thanks to Mrs Monaghan for telling us about her class of budding artists!
