Chinese New Year will begin on Saturday 25th January.
All P4 rotation groups have been learning about how Chinese New Year began and how it is celebrated. We also compared it to a traditional Scottish New Year using Venn diagrams.
Learners also made dancing dragons, tried writing using Chinese characters, attempted tangram puzzles and had fun using chopsticks.
We have all been busy paper sculpting, changing a flat surface into a dynamic 3D sculpture. We are hoping to display some of our creations in the school in the near future. Enjoy, we did.
All of the Primary 4 pupils have had the opportunity to become sculptures during their art rotation time. We looked at works from the artist Alberto Giacometti and made figures in the same style. Who knew how tricky tin foil would be to sculpt!! Here are some pictures of us hard at work and the end result.
P4 have been discussing what a New Year’s Resolution is and setting realistic goals for ourselves.
We shared examples during Health and Wellbeing time. Some ideas were to ‘pass a smile each day’, to spend more time outdoors, to try and make a difference towards achieving the Global Goals and to get up earlier each day.
The ‘Rocks’ made ‘Wish Wands’ today. We hope to achieve our goals!!
