Children's rat designs brought to life at Pocklington development
Pupils from St Mary & St Joseph VC Academy, and from Pocklington Junior School, were invited by David Wilson Homes Yorkshire East to design their very own rat, off the back of the housebuilder's sponsorship of one of the pieces in the East Yorkshire public art initiative, 'A Mischief of Rats.'
That trail, which features 45 artist-designed giant rat sculptures, has "transformed East Yorkshire into an open-air gallery," in the words of a spokesperson for David Wilson Homes Yorkshire East.
After receiving 44 imaginative entries, the housebuilder's judging team selected one winner from each school year group.
The winning designs, by three pupils from each school, have been transformed into four-foot-tall outdoor print installations.
These are now on display in the Show Home gardens at David Wilson Homes' Wolds View development in Pocklington.
The housebuilder also made a donation to The Daisy Appeal for each competition entry received.
