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!
As part of the Scotland/Social subjects grid we have set the task of making a flag.
Think about what you already know about flags.
Why do we have them?
What do they have in common?
What do they represent?
Why are they so different? or why are some similar? Here are two sets that are very similar.
Flags often have special meaning. The colours and shapes are not random. They often have a specific theme or idea connected to them. Some flags have mythical creatures or stories connected to them. Each flag is different and individual to the cause or Country it stands for.
The Welsh flag is a good example.
Your task is to make a flag that represents you.
Think about the colours you want to use, will you add a connection to family or friends? Will you add in something connected to a hobby or sport you enjoy? Will you include anything special to you? or will your flag be something totally different? It’s up to you.
Here is one I made with my Home School pupil. Pink and purple are her favourite colours and her hobby is dancing. She also added four hearts to represent the members of our family. For our flag we used fabric and glued on the pieces but you can use pen and paper or anything you have access to at at home. Don’t forget to share it with your teacher.
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 – Alexander P6
Good luck!
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.
Today is the day! You have been sending in your dance videos all week and the staff have been working on something as well.
Mrs.Fraser will send out a link to you all through Seesaw to allow you to view the video privately.
Thank you to everyone who took part. We hope you enjoy laughing, smiling and dancing along to our Community Dance Video!
