Imogen Granger, 3, Manton Pre-School, Marlborough A mixed media piece in bold colours depicts a bus driving along on a sunny day. The use of sparkly paper for the bus wheels, house and sun shows Bristol as a fabulous place to see from a bus!
Alicja Derdzinska, 7, St John’s Primary School, Cheltenham Alicja has used wax crayons and felt tips in this zingy picture of Bristol at New Year. Brilliant energy and verve.

A brilliantly detailed depiction of Freddie and his daddy watching Bristol beating the Leicester Tigers. I especially like the weeping Leicester mascot in the corner.

Rose Blanchard, 10, Bishop Road Primary School, Bristol
Rose has taken inspiration from an open top bus tour, delicately sketching the entrance to Temple Meads train station. Brunel’s architecture is clearly recognisable, and I like the flag details on the clock tower.
Toby Woodhams, 5, St Michael’s C of E Primary School, Bristol
Toby has also chosen hot air balloons, floating over colourful houses in Bristol, perhaps in Totterdown. A very striking picture.
