If you read part one you will know that we held a competition for the pupils of Tooting Primary School to create a piece of art that depicted what the RSPCA does.
We had over sixty brilliant entries and it was extremely difficult to choose the winning works of art. Eventually two runners-up were chosen and we reached a unanimous verdict for our overall winner. Here goes.
Runner-Up from years 1 to 3 – Charlotte, Year 2
Charlotte was asked to describe her picture and this is what she said, ” it is about lots of different animals in need who have just been rescued by the RSPCA. The swings show that they are being cared for and loved (enjoying playtime) and the rainbow means happier times for them.”
We loved Charlotte’s use of vibrant colours and lovely idea of animals enjoying playtime. She really deserved her prize of a canvas print of her creation to hang on her wall at home. Here she is with her certificate.
Runner-up from years 4-6, Adham, Year 5
This is what Adham had to say about his creation, “when I first thought about the need to help animals I thought about global environmental issues like deforestation, and then focused on animals in the UK, so my picture shows wildlife whose homes have been destroyed being saved by the RSPCA.”
Who would have thought that Adham’s picture would become so topical with the wildfires that we have just witnessed in the UK. Hopefully all the affected animals will have safely found new habitats.
Its a wonderful picture showing a real concern for environmental issues. We loved the animal drawings too and just wish we could draw so well!
Adham won a t-shirt adorned with his creation – here he is with his certificate:
Winner – Eliza, Year 5
Unfortunately Eliza was absent from school when we made our presentation. We were wowed by how well Eliza depicted what we do with her before and after picture.
A poor cat dumped in a bag, only to be found and brought to the RSPCA for rescue and eventual re-homing
Last year we took in over 100 cats in South London. Every one of them received expert veterinary care where needed, were micro-chipped & neutered where appropriate and then fostered, before being found a forever loving home wherever possible.
The average cost for us doing this is around £250 for each cat, so if you are able to donate a few pounds to help us with this we’d be really grateful. Just click HERE if you can.
We think you will agree that Eliza was a well worthy winner. She received a canvas print and a jigsaw puzzle featuring her artwork.
Children are the pet owners of the future and we were so pleased that every pupil that entered clearly has animal welfare and the environment very much at the forefront of their mind.
Well done everybody!
