P6a have been preparing for the Keep Scotland Beautiful  art competition.

The theme this year year is to highlight the effect of litter on a Marine ecosystem.

The children decided to focus on on the journey from Barrhead to The River Clyde and then to the sea. They decided to collect straws that had been used by pupils in the school and use these and bottle tops along with other litter that they had found around the school to create their message. They planned their designs, presented these to the class and voted on which pieces should form the large focus. As all pupils had put so much effort into their designs, the class opted to create a collaborative work or of art.
