For the next few weeks, some of our blog posts will be written by the pupils of primary 6/7. These will contain some information on what they did that week. Some posts may be about the same thing but each has been written in their own exact words.

 

Rex and Kymberly

In P6/7  this week we learned how to do gradients in art.

What we used: paint, watercolours, paintbrushes and paper.

How to make:

Step 1: Draw wavy lines up and down your paper (At least 5.)

Step 2: Mix your choice of colour with black and start at the bottom of your paper.

Step 3: Add your choice of colour and maybe some white paint and continue this until the top 2 sections are left.

Step 4: Use watercolours for the last 2 sections then let it dry.

Step 5: Use charcoal pencils to draw pine trees over the paint.

Step 6: Admire your painting and you’re done.

 

Aidan and Liam

This week we made astonishing pieces of art. Firstly, we started off by choosing our desired colour, then we had to mix that chosen colour with black to make it darker, then white to make it lighter to make a contrast. We then started to paint. We made different layers for the different colours. When we got to the top two layers, we used watercolours. We then used sponges to blend the colours to blend them together. After we finished, we used charcoal pencils to make trees. 

 

Jenna and Rein

In P.E, Primary 6/7 have been doing volleyball and have been learning how to pass, dig and serve. They have been working in pairs and using a lowered net. At the end of most lessons, they have been playing a game that helps them to build fast reactions: this is necessary in a game of volleyball. 

 

Sophia and Angel

This week we completed some art. We painted it any colour we wanted.

Sophia coloured it blue and Angel coloured it red. We painted a gradient background and used black charcoal pencils to draw trees. It was so much fun!

In maths, we have been learning about equivalent fractions. Today, we moved onto finding quantity using fractions.

We have also started preparing for our Burn’s celebration by learning songs and poems.

 

Kelsie and Flori

This week during art P6/7 have made phenomenal paintings.

How to make the paintings:

Step 1: Draw five wavy lines (portrait).

Step 2: Select a colour (red, green, blue, purple etc.) you will need watercolours as well.

Step 3: Start from the darkest shade and make sure you leave two spaces at the top for the lightest shades.

Step 4: Let it dry.

Step 5: Grab a charcoal pencil and start to draw trees ( as many as you want!)

Step 6: Done!
