Trout at Transition a success!
We have now completed Trout at Transition, our very first primary-to-secondary school transition project. The project was delivered by the Clyde River Foundation in partnership with artist Holly Keasey and the Biggar High School learning community between 2013-2015. Trout at Transition began with Primary 7 pupils from the 12 Primary Schools associated with Biggar High School. Pupils raised brown trout in classroom hatcheries (‘Phase 1’) and participated in ‘Meet Your River’ workshops (‘Phase 2’) at their local burns. As pupils progressed into S1 of Biggar High School we worked closely with the Science and Art departments (‘Phase 3’) to deliver a range of practical outdoor learning experiences and to produce a final, public art installation as a lasting legacy for the project. We’d like to say a big “thank you” to all involved and we hope you enjoy reading about the High School component of the project in the latest project update below.
