George Wyllie Finale

We had the finale of our art project on Saturday at the new Beacon Arts Centre in Greenock. We took our paper boats we had made & watched them sail down the Clyde as they were launched from the Clyde tug boat. One of our ex-pupils , now in S1 boarded the crew of the tug to set off the water cannons. Artist Jimmy Watt  presented us with a special copy of his new book containing some of his paintings. We showed it to the rest of the school at assembly. Mike Russell spoke about George Wyllie & heard us sing in the schools choir. Our question mark sculptures which were donated to us by artist Alec Galloway were in pride of place at the entrance to the arts centre. We drew the articles of the Conventions of the Rights of the Child on them as part of our work as a Rights Respecting school. We did this to remind others to question if these rights are being met for children around the world today. We had a great day & the Waverley paddle steamer even dropped too!
