The Big Hoot Launch 2015
The pupils in the Big Hoot after school club had an amazing day yesterday at the official launch of The Big Hoot 2015.
The children were invited to attend the launch as VIP guests. This special invite was given to the pupils by the school
coordinators of the Big Hoot in recognition of the hard work, effort and
time that they put into the project.
 |
| The open top bus drove us to the special event at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. |
After the exciting bus ride into the city, the children entered the official launch to take part in a range of activities, and to listen to the special speeches from those involved in the project.
 |
| Owl fun- of course! |
 |
| Busy creating more fabulous artwork. |
We were thrilled to see Wisey on the big screen along with the other schools owlets.
 |
 We were also treated to an owl display.   Once the launch was officially declared, we were able to view the parliament of owls who will live at the BMAG for the next ten weeks. |

More sneak peeks
The children have been hard at work decorating Wisey today and we are very impressed with how the decorating is coming along. He now has some feathers covering his wings and poppies growing on his back.
Unfortunately, Wisey will be leaving us on Tuesday evening to fly to a new temporary home so that he can meet thousands of visitors. Make sure that you come to see the completed Wisey before he says good bye.
