P6G pendulum painting galaxies
P6G had a great afternoon experimenting with colour and the method of pendulum painting!
We used pictures of galaxies as a stimulus and created elliptical patterns with paint. It was not easy and is probably best done outside. There was paint everywhere!! We worked well as a team and shared thoughts about the height of the bottle and size of shape.
Have a look at our galaxies .
P1Y learning about stranger danger with PC Johnston.
PC Johnston came to visit our class to talk to us about Stranger Danger. We learned about who we could ask if we needed help, and these people are called safe strangers.
PC Johnston also talked to us about keeping safe on line, remembering that there could be strangers there who might want to talk to us.
We had fun looking at the equipment that PC Johnston had on his uniform.The person on the other end of PC Johnson’s radio said hello to us!
P1F French Breakfast
P1F have been learning about healthy eating and the benefits of eating a healthy breakfast. We have also been learning some vocabulary in our French work, of which some words were rather familiar! So we decided to join the learning and have a French breakfast in class. We practiced our vocabulary and then had to ask for the items we would like in French! Next we rated each item of food and decided we would love to go to France!!
P7’s Sharing the Learning with P1F
Last week P1F were visited by a group of talented writers from P7 who entertained them by reading their own version of the Gruffalo in Scots. P1 really enjoyed it and they also loved their illustrations. P1 then decided to entertain the P7’s by reciting the Scots poem they had learned! Thanks P7 and please come back soon!
