On Tuesday afternoon P6 were delighted to welcome back author Stuart Reid!  Following our previous workshop we all wrote our own stories which were posted to Stuart.  He very kindly read them all giving each one of us comments.  Infact, he enjoyed them so much he chose three pupils to each receive one of his books which he signed!  The lucky recipients were Lainey Ireland, Ciara McQuarrie and Liam Whalen.

As well as receiving feedback on our stories Stuart took us for another writing workshop where we really looked at setting, description, emotions and the senses to improve our work.  We worked really hard and had lots of ideas and suggestions which we will incorporate in our future writing.  Thank you very much Stuart.

READING ROCKS!!!

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.

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.
