Skypro Productions video of Kattanga

Many thanks to Skypro Productions for this video of Kattanga the War Horse on the Teignmouth Recycled Art in the Landscape sculpture trail
Thanks also to Teignbridge Resorts for the buoy and the brolly cover which make up Oz Octopus, and to Lara;s dress shop in Teignmouth for the bulk of Kattanga's ;-) coathangers.  Starcross Primary School made the oceans, Oz Octopus's tentacles and Kattanga's splendid tail.  Starcross Preschool  made some oceans too

Starcross History has a super place on TRAIL

The map for the sculpture trail in Teignmouth has just been finalised. Starcross History has a magnificent plot where everyone on the Number 2 Stagecoach bus will be able to see Kattanga, our War Horse as he watches the galloping pollution of the oceans

Many thanks once again to
 Lara's dress shop in Teignmouth (opposite the Number 2 bus stop to Newton Abbot)
for yet another 2 sacksful of coathangers for Kattanga. Kattanga is pleased to see enough coathangers to finish his legs. Here he is with:
 an octopus made from material which includes a buoy and a beach umbrella,
a crab made from material which includes a washing basket and a coathanger, and

squid made from material  which includes polythene bags. Turtles, sadly, think that polythene bags ARE squid or jellyfish and they eat them... and die. Here's the heartbreaking truth from the Marine Conservation Society

If you're inspired to write a poem about this, or any of the scupltures as they appear on this year's Teignmouth Recycled Art In the Landscape sculpture trail, a website  has been set up to publish your original poems. It's Poems for TRAIL2018 

Starcross History at the Village Féte

Many thanks to The Prop Factory for the loan of their wonderful vintage fairground games, bunting and signs today. This enabled Starcross History to add a slice of old-fashioned fun to the many attractions at the Starcross Summer Spectacular on the sportsfield.

The history group also ran a workshop. Tentacles  were made for Sid Squid, who will be part of the Starcross History entry on the 2018 Teignmouth Recycled Art in the Landscape sculpture trail. Assorted plastic rubbish was threaded onto videotapes.
