Pupils from Holyrood Secondary and Cathkin High schools enjoyed a tour of Garnethill Synagogue yesterday (despite the cold!). They are working together to host an event for HMD at St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art in January 2025.

Enjoyed exploring Pattern and Texture with primary teachers on Tuesday as part of our joint CPD programme with the @GlasgowCREATE team. The participants all enjoyed getting creative whilst picking up some ideas to use back in class.

P3 won the junior Reading Mascot challenge 2023-2024. Along with a reading party, the class got to visit Goma and take part in a brilliant pop art workshop. Thank you to the amazing team @Museum_Learning #oakgrovelovesreading

P3 explored the Pop Art exhibited at Goma and worked with @Museum_Learning to create these wonderful prints. #oakgrovelovesreading

Just look at the concentration! @Museum_Learning well done P3- the creativity you brought to your enjoyment of reading is equally displayed in your enjoyment of art. #oakgrovelovesreading
