The children designed and created their own fabric squares, thinking carefully about pattern, shape and repetition—just like Morris did in his famous textile designs. To bring their ideas to life, they used a special technique called *batik*. This process allowed them to create striking white shapes by drawing in glue before adding colour. ### Inspired by William Morris [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/0ca90607-b736-445c-a855-483e170aee2b.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/0ca90607-b736-445c-a855-483e170aee2b.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/3d380573-4f4b-49c4-96a2-4b15e5cf0517.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/3d380573-4f4b-49c4-96a2-4b15e5cf0517.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/6cc05d55-d5d5-4e36-aac2-d3f65b77b882.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/6cc05d55-d5d5-4e36-aac2-d3f65b77b882.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/7cc1ae53-78e7-4384-b0f7-98e69fdcc28e.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/7cc1ae53-78e7-4384-b0f7-98e69fdcc28e.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/10e4f0de-c5f8-4b87-84a4-ec999f708dc3.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/10e4f0de-c5f8-4b87-84a4-ec999f708dc3.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/57db064c-d4b5-407f-bfed-fafa49f30cae.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/57db064c-d4b5-407f-bfed-fafa49f30cae.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/563eb8d0-0abb-4739-a3f2-0033413bd695.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/563eb8d0-0abb-4739-a3f2-0033413bd695.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/905a35da-5dfa-4c56-bff5-9ad4ceb7072e.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/905a35da-5dfa-4c56-bff5-9ad4ceb7072e.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/a22e7bb1-16f0-4bef-9148-8ec93e672fff.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/a22e7bb1-16f0-4bef-9148-8ec93e672fff.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/b55c72b3-1cba-4309-a337-be784ca75569.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/b55c72b3-1cba-4309-a337-be784ca75569.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/c08959e2-2ca1-4bb5-99e5-4535905a1222.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/inspired-by-william-morris/c08959e2-2ca1-4bb5-99e5-4535905a1222.jpg) [Year 4](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-4) [Art](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/art) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_0057.jpeg)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-06-26-10-49-sports-day) Previous ### [Sports day](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-06-26-10-49-sports-day) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_4440.JPG)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-07-02-15-26-year-2-trip-to-new-brighton) Next ### [Year 2 - Trip to New Brighton](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-07-02-15-26-year-2-trip-to-new-brighton) ### School Life - [Brookside Blog ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog) - [News](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/news) - [Events](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/events) - [Photograph Galleries ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/photo-galleries) - [School Council](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/school-council) - [After-School Clubs ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/after-school-clubs) - [KIDZ Club](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/kidz-club) - [Calendar](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/calendar) - [Newsletters](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/information-for-parents/newsletters-2026-2027) - [Mental Health ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/mental-health) ##### Location Rostherne Avenue Great Sutton Cheshire CH66 2EE ##### Contact Us 0151 558 1123 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/brooksideprimary/) © Copyright 2014–2026 Brookside Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
