Broomhill Primary School Mosaic Playground
Broomhill Primary School pupils revamped their playground with colourful personalised artwork thanks to the Union Square Aberdeen Shopping Centre community bursary win in 2011. The Broomhill Primary pupils designed bespoke mosaic panels to brighten up their playground and spent three months getting creative and designing seven brightly coloured, wildlife themed, mosaic tiled panels, to help transform their school’s playground, which needed a new lease of life to inspire its occupants.
The art project was introduced as part of a series of on-going upgrades to the playground, which includes the construction of a wildlife garden. The mosaic artwork was made possible thanks to funding received through Union Square’s Community Bursary Scheme, matched with funds raised by The Friends of Broomhill School PTA.
Each school year group, from P1 – 7, has been involved in the design and construction of the 4ft by 4ft panels, and took inspiration from the outdoors and wildlife, from bugs and birds, to wild plants and flowers. The panels were glazed by the locally based Pigeon Workshops.
Kathy Rohan, head teacher, at Broomhill Primary School said:
Our pupils have worked extremely hard in creating and designing the art panels over the last few months, and the whole school is looking forward to seeing them take pride of place in the playground. Before we undertook the various upgrades to the playground, we were looking for ways to create interesting spaces for the pupils to use and enjoy. The panels will do exactly this, and as it’s not just the school, but also the local community who use the playground, lots of people will be able to benefit from the hard work undertaken by pupils and staff.
Penny Godfrey, marketing manager, for Union Square said: The mosaic art created by Broomhill Primary are fantastic, and really show off the pupil’s artistic flair! A big well done to the school, as it sounds like it really was a group effort to get the project completed. We’re glad we could offer help to allow Broomhill to complete their playground transformation.
Union Square’s Community Bursary scheme was introduced to help support a number of charitable organisations which benefit the local community. Since opening, Union Square has donated £40,000 to 25 community bursary beneficiaries.
