This Friday we will be once again visiting the National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh for our inspiration.
One of my favourite sculptures in the Gallery of Modern Art is ‘Vulcan’. He is an enormous figure constructed from steel, measuring 730 cm in height. He was created by the Scottish artist, Eduardo Paolozzi
Click on the Sway to find out more about your Feel-Good Friday activity! I hope you have fun creating it.
If your child has access to their Sumdog account, they can take part in our whole school competition.
The competition starts at 9am today and will finish on Friday at 3.15pm.
The teaching staff will keep an eye on the leaderboard and can offer coins to their class for encouragement!
Congratulations to last week’s winner – Alfie H P6
Good luck!
Hi Everyone,
Welcome to Week 2 of our Virtual Trip Experience, I hope you had a great time at Edinburgh Zoo last week, this week we are going to visit a different tourist attraction around Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire every day!
The sway below shows Monday and Tuesdays visits, on Wednesday I will post a new set of visits for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to get your hands on.
Fancy having a go at some fun activities courtesy of Scot Rail.
Mrs Webster would love you to have a go and let us know how you get on!
You could colour in your finished pieces too, Enjoy.
Today, rather than posting a Sway, I’m going to share some art activities from the National Galleries of Scotland.
Each week, throughout the lockdown, they have been posting ideas for creative projects for children, including mud painting, spiral finding, map drawing, and bangle making.
Click on the link to find out more. Don’t forget to take photos of your artwork and tell your teacher how you got on!
Have fun!
In keeping with our ‘Scotland’ theme, here are some more anagrams for you to unscramble.
This time, the answers are all names of cities, towns and villages around Scotland. The majority are located in the North-East, though there are a couple from farther away.
Let me know how you get on!
Today’s maths challenge is related to our ‘Money’ theme. You will be given a shopping list and challenged to find the best value online supermarket.
A minimum of 2 supermarkets should be selected, however if you wish a slightly HOTTER challenge you can, of course, choose more.
Instructions and a shopping list are contained in the Sway.
Ensure that you stick to the guidelines, and keep an eye open at all times for any special offers, such as ‘3 for 2’ or ‘Buy-One-Get-One-Free’ as these offer good value for money.
Remember to post your results on Seesaw or write them in your jotter, and come back to the Blog to tell us how you got on!
Bonjour! Hola!
I hope you are enjoying your new topic for this week boys and girls. Since I moved in to Scotland I have loved everything about it, specially its language. That’s why with Ms Rees we thought it would be so fun to mix all languages and give you a try matching words to their language.
Here is a word document that will allow you to see the words you will be looking up, once you find the meaning in Scots, Spanish and French you put them in the column where they belong.
In this Sway you will have one slide for each language with the words mixed up, try and find to which language they belong. Below the Sway you will find 3 links to dictionaries that could help you.
Let’s Begin.

For this Friday’s creative challenge I was inspired by Mrs Fraser’s assembly on different types of art, also by a comment that Hayden made on the blog.
Today we are going to be creating pictures using small stones and pebbles. The subject of your picture is entirely your choice – it could be your family, your cat or dog, birds, flowers – anything!
Click on the Sway to find out more …
Don’t forget to take photos of your artwork and send them to your teacher or to me, so that I can make a gallery on Sway to show your creations to everyone. Have fun, and have a great weekend.
Happy Friday Everyone 🙂
Mrs Still has continued on her photo Methlick Quiz, how many can you recognise?
Let us know how you get on!
