Kensington Primary School
¤ We wanted to do something about the bridge we cross on our way to school. We carried out a survey to find out what local people thought about the bridge and took pictures.

¤ We made graphs to show the results (see 'More Information') We reported the problems on the bridge to our local council and wrote to our MP.
¤ We thought about solutions to the problems with the bridge and worked with an architect to learn about bridge design. We worked with a graffiti artist to design positive images.
¤ We also held a protest and asked local people to sign our petition to get something done about the bad state the bridge is in. Stephen Timms MP visited our school.
