UNEARTHED Hannah Lee, aged 18 Year 13, Leweston School
A
rt has always been Hannah’s passion. At a young age she would start her day by drawing a picture before breakfast, hence it was only natural that Hannah chose to study both Art and Textile Design for GCSE, achieving Grade 9 in each. Now working towards A Level, Hannah works hard at her dedicated space in Leweston’s Sixth Form Art and Design Studio. As Art Prefect, Hannah has set up a weekly film club for younger students, bringing skills she learnt during her Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) studies, completed last year, for which she achieved an A*. Hannah’s knowledge and skillset led to her taking on the role of Film Production Assistant at the inaugural TEDx Sherborne Event in May. She is also helping to organise Leweston’s highly anticipated Fashion Show in January which showcases design work from students across the school. This summer Hannah set up a small, online business called ‘Nah Nah Embroidery’, which sells hand-embroidered T-shirts. She also designed the interior and planting of her parents’ trade stand at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, promoting their Shepherd’s Hut business. The stand won five stars for the first time in seven years and gained fantastic feedback from designers, press and celebrities such as Joanna Lumley. In the future Hannah wants to work to improve the textiles and fashion industry’s issues with sustainability after studying Textile Design at University. She hopes the course will help her learn and research sustainable innovations and develop her love of textiles even further.

he main characters are Paddington, his Aunt Lucy, Judy and Jonathan. Mr and Mrs Brown find a lost, stowaway bear on Paddington railway station when they are picking up their daughter Judy. He is all alone so they take him home and they name him Paddington. Judy introduces him to her brother, Jonathan, and Mrs Bird, who looks after them. They show him
around the sights of London. He makes lots of friends and is very happy in his new home. In the story, Paddington gets lots of letters which are hidden inside envelopes in the book. He also draws a map to find his way around. This is a fun book to read especially with the postcards and letters. My favourite one is a birthday card he gets from Mrs Bird.
