GRANGE CAMPUS CERAMIC WELCOME SIGN

Overview
In September 2008, the new Grange Campus was completed and incorporated Grange Academy, Annanhill Primary, and Park School.

Julia worked with P3 & P6 from Annanhill Primary and Park pupils from P6 to create this welcoming mural. During the workshops pupils explored the theme of travel; making journey maps of shapes found in architecture of the school and maps of their journeys through school, imagining what they will end up being when they leave. For the mural each pupil made a tile depicting themselves in the future.
