Children at a Bradford primary school spent the afternoon finding out how rocks are used in everyday sculptures in the city centre.
This included the new sculptures in City Park, Bradford, Victorian sandstone buildings, and the architecture holding the big screen in place in Centenary Square.
The youngsters, who attend Bowling Park Primary School, used the museums and galleries’ rock collections and City Park as inspiration for the workshop, which was held at Bradford 1 Gallery, in Centenary Square.
Maggie Pedley, Bradford Council’s museums and galleries manager, said: “The Bradford Rocks workshop will encourage children to consider their built environment and help to inspire an interest in science and technology.”
The workshop will be available at Bradford 1 Gallery for schools across the district throughout 2012.
