Sounds Right Garageband Activities

P7 have been enjoying music workshops from Sounds Right using Garageband on the IPads.

Today we were learning how to create 8 bar musical pieces using Apple Loops.

We had to use several instruments to show progression in the music.  have a listen to our tracks!

Victorians- Queen Victoria Fact Flap Book

Today we created these fact flap books all about Queen Victoria.

We used tessellation skills to draw 7 hexagons and cut them out to look like a flower with attached petals.

We did a line drawing sketch of Queen Victoria in the centre of our flowers using a portrait found online.

We brainstormed facts we knew about Queen Victoria and shared information with each other!

Lots of skills development from across the curriculum on display here!

Climate Change Art

We have been enjoying learning about the COP26 event in Glasgow and really interested about the climate crisis.  We watched a clip from David Attenborough’s “Frozen Planet” and discussed his impact statement about melting ice caps:

In the past 30 years, we’ve seen these effects of global warming escalate: areas of Arctic sea ice have melted that is larger than Norway, Sweden and Denmark combined. Summer sea ice in the Arctic has reduced by 40% in 40 years.

We created these polar bear images in response to the climate crisis, using water colours and black markers.
