MODEL behaviour is being displayed at a Greenock school — after skilful students created superb 3D replicas of Scottish landmarks.

Pupils from Whinhill Primary’s P5 class worked in partnership with their parents to construct scale models of their favourite monument, sculpture, building or place as part of a project looking at the history of the country.

The end product was an array of eye-catching creations featuring a mix of new and old — with everything from The Kelpies to the Barrowlands, and the Hydro to the Forth Road Bridge.

One pupil and parent duo even made a model of Loch Ness complete with Nessie swimming in the water.

Class teacher Sharon Lightfoot was amazed with the results.

She told the Tele: “They made them at home with their parents and picked whatever Scottish landmark they wanted.

“The attention to detail is phenomenal.” The pupils not only studied the shape and size of their chosen landmarks but also learned in-depth about their history and importance.

Other models included Glasgow’s Clyde Auditorium, better known as The Armadillo, the Wallace Monument in Edinburgh and a collection of castles.

But one Scottish icon which really caught the imagination was The Kelpies — two 30-metre high steel horse-heads in Falkirk.

Several pupils researched the artwork,the largest equine sculptures in the world, and made their own miniature versions.

Another popular landmark was the Forth Road Bridge over the Firth of Forth in South Queensferry.

Whinhill head teacher Liz Ruddy praised the pupils for their efforts.

Mrs Ruddy said: “A big part of the curriculum for excellence is Scottishness all through the school and these are interpretations of Scottish landmarks past and present.

“They are extremely detailed — they’re fantastic.”
