Design Workshop at Barrhead Water Works

P7 had a great time exploring and sketching the Barrhead Water Works with resident artist, James Gow, as part of a design workshop. The P7 pupils will use their sketches and photographs to design an installation or sculpture to brighten up the community garden. Outdoor Learning at it’s best! 🎨 📷

The children had their own sketch pad to capture what they saw and to use their imagination.

‘Sketching in pen feels totally different but I like it – I’m trying hard not to make a mistake!’

Pumpkin Soup

The Eco Committee worked with our dinner ladies to cook soup from our home-grown pumpkins for lunch today. We cooked curried pumpkin and lentil soup and roasted pumpkin seeds which were so popular that they sold out!  We love eating home-grown food. 🎃
