Art

We have been learning about Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his artwork. This links in with our topic as he produced a lot of his artwork in the 20th century. We  watched a video to learn how to draw the roses. The children then made their own artwork inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

 

Music

This week we were learning about dynamics in music. We learned that diminuendo is when the music gets quieter and that crescendo is when the music gets loader. The pictures show us using our bodies to show the music changing. We reached up when the music got louder and crouched down when the music got quieter.

 

P.E

This week we were learning some street dance moves. We then worked in pairs to customise the moved we learned. We came up with lots of great variations!

Ellie and Katie’s Presentation

Today was Thinking Day so Ellie and Katie used the opportunity to tell us about Mrs Murray’s Dog and Cat Home because they are working on their charity badge. The girls will be taking part in a sponsored cycle from Cults to Duthie Park to raise money for their charity. If you would like to sponger them then follow this link:

Chinese New Year

On Monday we were learning about the story of Chinese New Year and how it is celebrated. We learned that this is the year of the pig and that most of the children in P4G were born in the year of the tiger. We then made cards to celebrate Chinese New Year.

On Tuesday, Kayden and Maeve brought in some interesting things to show the class about Chinese New Year. Kayden brought in a special drum and this amazing dragon outfit! Maeve showed us a envelope which children are given with money inside during Chinese New Year, some decorations and two lovely outfits!

Internet Safety Day

Tuesday was Internet Safety Day so we learned how to stay safe online. We then made leaflets so we could share our handy tips to other children.

Topic

This week we have been preparing a presentation on a building or place in Aberdeen. We have groups doing presentations on Pittodrie Statium, Duthie Park and the Old Deeside Railway Line and many more.

 

Topic

On Monday, we were sorting photographs into the early, middle and end of the 20th century. The children looked at  a mixture of pictures  of transport, Aberdeen, fashion, food and toys and had to order them into which part of the 20th century they thought they were from.

 

Dance

We have been taking part in some dance lessons. These explore different movements and sequences to show a variety of snow sports such as snow boarding, ice skating and bob sleigh. The children have had a lot of fun!

 

RE

This term we are learning that there are many different creation stories and beliefs about how the world was created. This week we learned about the Christian Creation story and made a story wheel. This shows the order that Christians believe God created the world in.
