KEITH Primary School has been named as a runner-up in a nationwide crafting competition.
The school came second in YPO and Pritt’s Craft with Nature competition, created to encourage schools to spend more time in learning outdoors.
To enter the competition, schools had to create a piece of artwork by foraging for natural materials and using eco-friendly products.
Keith Primary School's Mandala entry, made from natural materials that students found outdoors, won a pack of 208 Pritt sticks for the school.
Lynne Geddes, inclusion project coordinator at Keith Primary, said: “Our students loved having the opportunity to get together outdoors and come up with creative ideas for their entry.
"We are so proud to have placed as runners up in the YPO and Pritt Craft with Nature Competition and the Pritt glue sticks will certainly come in handy for future outdoor crafting projects.”
Martyn Armytage, head of education at YPO, said “Our competition with Pritt received an outstanding amount of applicants so we are delighted to present Keith Primary School as runners up.
"Outdoor learning is hugely beneficial to students and is proven to boost creativity, problem-solving, confidence and independence.
"We hope that the competition was enjoyable and has a lasting impact.”
Maria Troutt, Brand Manager at Pritt, said, “Keith Primary School’s submission to the competition was fantastic, making use of objects found in nature alongside our new natural formula glue sticks.
"We are delighted to share with them a pack of 208 Pritt glue sticks so that they can continue to create outdoor, sustainable masterpieces.”
