Card exhibition: mummy cat
Activity
Wednesday morning, 18 June, was finally here: the mummy cat's final name was revealed.
When we asked Breda's upper primary school students to help us think of a new name for our mummy cat, we received lots of beautiful, funny and creative drawings. As many as 847 cards!
That's so many that we can't just leave them there: from Wednesday 18 June to Sunday 13 July, you can admire a selection of all the special entries in the mummy cat card exhibition. And who knows, maybe your drawing will be among them.
Come along and bring your family, friends or classmates. Take a look at the mummy cat and all the artful cards that have been submitted.
