Today is the day…… our Oor Wullie name and design will be revealed to all! This will be done at our whole school Assembly this morning. Keep an eye on Twitter for this announcement soon!
Meeting with an Artist
We were so lucky to meet a local artist, Laura, who has been involved in both the Anchor and Doors projects in Aberdeen previously to get great advice from her on materials to use and top tips for making our design become reality. She was so impressed with our design and we are most grateful to her for giving us such valuable advice. We now feel ready to source our materials and can’t wait to get started on our Oor Wullie sculpture after the holidays. 
Design Process
We had a really tricky job looking through all the amazing designs. What a lot of hard work, great ideas and creativity our children have. We took the designs that best fitted with our brief and used them to make a patchwork design that included all the ideas that fitted best and represented our vision. This was great but but very tricky! We worked together with great Team work. 
The Guardians meet HPG
On Tuesday night Our Guardians went along to the HPG meeting to introduce the Parents Group to Oor Wullie and to ask for their support in thinking for a name for him, designing him and to come into school and help with this project.
