Cloch Housing Association recently invited all infant classes across Inverclyde to participate in an exciting Easter Classroom Door Design competition, aimed at encouraging local children to express their creativity. The response was overwhelming, with 14 classes showcasing their imaginative interpretations of Easter. The designs were nothing short of spectacular, transforming whole corridors into vibrant display of colours and decorations, filled with the buzz of excited children.
The only requirement was that the door design must have an Easter theme and could extend slightly beyond the door frame if needed. Beyond that, the children were free to let their imaginations run wild—and they certainly did not disappoint!
Choosing a winner was incredibly challenging due to the volume of wonderful ideas. With the winning class receiving transport to and from the Waterfront Cinema, along with a film screening, snacks, and drinks the stakes were high. After much deliberation, P1A from All Saints Primary was declared the winner. Their class teacher, Jennifer Sinclair, shared the moment when she announced the victory to her 19 creative tiny tots, whose cheers echoed throughout the school.
Miss Sinclair commented, "The children had so much fun and really enjoyed the creative aspect of this competition. PSA teacher, Miss Nicolas, was inspirational in guiding them through the project, although the ideas and input came from the children themselves. They absolutely loved painting the eggs and chicks and sticking the feathers on—all the messy stuff! The handwritten words were by Vanessa from the class—a very impressive P1 student! When the children were told they had won the competition, the whole school could hear the cheers! Since then, every pupil has popped along to see their winning Easter Door Design. The class is so excited and looking forward to the Cinema Trip prize!"
We were thrilled with the wonderful pieces of imaginative work our local children created. To celebrate all the children’s efforts, we donned our bunny ears and delivered Easter Eggs to all classes. We hope they enjoyed their well-deserved treats!
