A group from the lower fifth have created their own Semaphore flag designs that were inspired by medals and cigarette cards that featured in the World War One exhibition, on show at the end of last year.

The pupils were asked to look at colours and shapes and think about their connotations. Starting out by drawing designs and later translating them into fabric flags. The designs creating were visually beautiful and thought provoking.

The workshop concluded with a Cathedral Assembly where the pupils displayed their flags spelling out Norwich in Semaphore signals. The flags will soon be displayed in the school for all the pupils and staff to see.
