St Gerardine’s primary 3 classes recreated a model of their local church as part of this year’s competition.



Their final model included the creative use of red crisp packets to recreate the red slates on the church roof. The class had considered to best configuration of the packets to allow for water to run off the roof. The pupils also mixed sand and white paint together to make ‘harling’, a Scottish exterior building-surfacing technique.
