The Leicester Haymarket Theatre pays host to the exhibition from Tuesday 9th July.

There are six themes for the schools project, which are closely linked to the National Curriculum work ongoing in classrooms at the moment.

The six themes are:

• Our Super School
• Traffic Trouble
• Dear Diary
• What makes our locality unique?
• A place for poetry
• Local legend

The BBC ‘A Sense of Place’ team is also encouraging schools to look to their wider community for support in this project. The year 5 children have been invited to enter a competition and submit both some of their written work and some art to BBC Radio Leicester.

The schools taking part are:

• Badgerbrook County Primary School, Whetstone
• St. Clare's Primary School, Coalville
• Cottesmore RAF Primary School, Rutland
• Empingham C of E Primary School, Empingham
• Glebelands Primary School, Thurcaston
• Fosse Primary School, Leicester
• Holywell Primary School, Loughborough
• St. John Fisher Roman Catholic Primary, Wigston
• St. John the Baptist, C of E Primary School, Whitwick
• Dovelands Primary School, Leicester

Work from the children will be heard on BBC Radio Leicester and you'll be able to view it here on BBC Leicester.
