Last term Primary 4 created these lovely oil pastel pictures which were inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers in a Vase’.
We scanned the images to make wonderful Mothers Day cards and displayed the originals in our corridor.
We have had lots of kind comments about them so we thought we would share them on the blog too! 🙂
This term primary 2 have been learning about the park for their topic. This week the children went a walk to the park to learn about push and pull forces. The children played on the different park equipment and decided whether they were using a pushing or pulling force. They also took into consideration the positions of the different activities in the park to help them plan their plan views of the park.
Continuing with our Spring topic this week we learned all about the different parts of a plant; roots, stem, leaves and flower. We continued to look after our runner beans in our runner bean experiment but we are still waiting patiently for some growth! We planted our seed potatoes in the garden which will be harvested by the boys and girls next Autumn. Some of the children also created collage birds and insects using gummed paper and other materials with some fantastic results!
The mud kitchen has been back in action, there were some fantastic ‘cakes’ being rustled up! Potted sports practise also continued this week with the egg and spoon race.
Some of the boys and girls baked scones for our snack on Thursday. We ate them altogether on the mat, like an indoor picnic, they were delicious!
This term, P7 have been learning about the work of Van Gogh. We looked closely at his artistic styles and techniques then decided to use cray-pas oil pastels to recreate one of Van Gogh’s famous self portraits. Take a look below at a selection of our finished pictures.
The wet and miserable weather today didn’t stop some of our P6 and P7 pupils from getting on their bikes and taking part in an ibike obstacle course with Katie our ibike leader. Children braved the rain and had a fantastic time developing their cycling skills going over various ramps, jumps and beams.
As part of learning in P.E Primary 3 pupils have been developing their skills in gymnastics with Mrs Gray and Mrs Dunlop. The children have been working on developing their rolls, balances, jumps and climbing techniques. Children demonstrated some high quality skills and provided feedback to peers throughout the lessons to help each other improve their work.
The first group of Primary Fives visited Carlingwark Loch yesterday with Mrs Graham and Mrs Robison to carry out some fun activities with the Outdoor Education team. The children were split into three groups and took part in sailing, kayaking and canoeing. All the children had a great time and were very enthusiastic throughout. Some even braved the cold and snow to have a little swim at the end!
Well done!
Some pupils from P5 and P6 are developing their skills as cheerleaders at an after school club with our Active Schools Co-ordinator Amy Niven. Whilst learning different dance techniques and routines, pupils are also keeping fit and active.
An after school session was held today for P4 and P5 pupils to develop their cycling skills. Katie from ibike organised and supported the school with this event. Pupils developed their basic cycling techniques, braking, balance and control. Well done to everyone who took part.
As part of our participation in The Big Pedal, Katie from ibike is supporting us with some cycling activities. The first of the activities was Bling Your Bike for P 1-3 on Friday 22nd April. There were some fantastic bling bikes and scooters.
