P6/7 and Theatre Modo

1 Comment

Last week  Theatre Modo has been in to help the whole school learn to do creative things like  paintings, drama, dance routines and songs for our Golden Jubilee which is 60’s themed. P6/7 has been making Andy Warhol flags. Andy Warhol was a famous artist in the 60’s. He was famous for his style of art which was pop art. He designed the famous and colourful portrait of Marilyn Monroe. We are making portraits of ourselves in the same style as Andy Warhol’s. We drew pictures of ourselves then made stencils and spray painted them onto material. We will be attaching them to a flag pole and doing a routine with them for the jubilee. We are enjoying working with Theatre  Modo, and hope that our flags and routine will wow the parents.

Modo Madness

2 Comments

Primary 7 pupils have started to create life-sized puppets with the help of Theatre Modo. We have been making the puppets out of withies (sticks of willow) and cardboard for the school Golden Jubilee. We are nearly ready for the big celebration on Friday at Gordon Park and we are learning a routine to go with it.

When we started learning about the 60s we realised how weird and strange a lot things were in those days, so that is the theme of our performance – STRANGE. On Friday you’ll see some strange things like; flying cars, toppling towers and strange animals. Watch this space for photos.

Ellon Primary Stall Popular on Gala Day

Leave a comment

Our Golden Jubilee stall proved to be very popular on the day of the Ellon Gala. Members of our Parent Council set up a display of photographs of staff and pupils through the decades.

The stall had many visitors who reminisced about old times at the school. The 1960’s style sweets went down a treat with the children and the water bottles and pens with our limited edition Golden Jubilee logo were selling

like hot cakes. These items will be available along with other limited edition products, tee shirts, polo shirts, mugs and pencil cases on our celebration day on Friday 15th June.

Golden Jubilee Learning Experiences Begin

1 Comment

Golden Jubilee learning experiences have begun in ernest this week.  Primary 1 pupils visited the Winter Gardens at Duthie Park to investigate a variety of plants and flowers.  They met Clare and Arthur who helped them to spot and name a variety of brightly coloured flowers and to create a crafty flower. Primary 1 took photographs with their DSs and they drew pictures of what they saw.  The photographs and drawings will be used to inspire them to create a 60’s floral pattern for fabric.
