Abstract
As a way of concluding the intergenerational project on sports heritage in the southside of Glasgow pupils at Shawlands Primary School hosted an exhibition of the various creative outputs they had created in the classroom, as well as a series of posters I created to represent the various visits we had made to sports clubs and sporting venues in the area. What soon became clear when I arrived on the morning of the event to set things up, was the amazing volume of work the children had created. Among the artwork and literature passed on to me by the teacher, Laura Fleming, were collages, models, drawings, poetry, written accounts of the museum visits, recorded power point presentations of what they had learnt during the project and a video presentation of a large mural created on the classroom wall. All of the material filled and decorated the small gym hall to inform invited guests including parents, representatives from the different sports clubs, the local sports development officer and a visitor from the Hampden Experience what the children had been up to throughout the project. The exhibition also provided an opportunity for other pupils to learn what the class had been doing, and to be inspired by the range of sporting activity and heritage available in the community.
