St Andrew’s Pupils in P3/4/5 took part in a project organised by Mount Stuart resident artist, Malcolm Mackenzie. The project saw the children decorating pieces of wood which Malcolm used to make a boat. They wrote letters detailing what their island means to them, the things they love about living on Bute. Rothesay Primary and North Bute Primary took part too. The pupils attended the boat launch at Mount Stuart and class teacher Miss Rae said that it was “A celebration of community, commonality and sharing amazing outdoor spaces”.
Why not mention North Bute a bit better?
Fantastic project! Great to see collaboration with artists in schools. You can find our more about Youth Arts in the Argyll region on the CHArts Youth Arts Projects. Culture Heritage Arts Argyll and the isles is a place partnership between Argyll & Bute council and partners.
