Year 6 Visit to the Knife Angel

Earlier today Year 6 were lucky enough to visit the Knife Angel which is currently being exhibited by Jumbo water tower. The Knife Angel is a contemporary sculpture formed of 100,000 knives created by artist Alfie Bradley that stands at 27 ft tall. The Knife Angel is visiting a number of towns and cities around the UK to raise awareness of knife crime. Year 6 took part in a workshop delivered by Essex Police, Essex Fire & Safety and Ann Oakes-Odger who lost her son to knife crime in 2005. The children asked excellent questions and really took in the key messages in this very important topic.
