Winning Artist at Mill O’Forest

Mill O’ Forest Primary School has an off-site allotment at Baird Park in Stonehaven which the Primary 5/6 pupils visited in November of 2012. They walked through the local community considering the natural beauty that surrounds them, taking photographs to capture all the wonders on their doorstep. Their journey took them by the rugged coastline to the peaceful woodlands at Dunnottar, past wild birds in the River Carron and a number of flora and fauna. The pupils entered their wonderful photographs into the Shutterbugs competition run by GTCS. We are delighted to report that many of the photographs that were taken on that chilly day are now featured on the webpage showing entries from primary school children from across Scotland.

Yesterday we received a letter informing us that Rikki Gilchrist, a Primary 5 pupil, had won first place in the Shutterbugs competition! His picture of trees against the skyline thoroughly impressed the judges and earned him first place! The school are very proud of his wonderful achievement and are thrilled that he has been recognised in a national competition.

Many congratulations, Rikki!
