Well done to our Onthank pupils at the Royal Commonwealth pool in Edinburgh competing in the Scottish schools final today.
Since it was our last night of the art club and the sun was still shining we all went outside where we worked with gouache and soft pastels to recreate Steven Brown pictures in our own creative styles. Here we are at work and some finished pieces.
I’d like to thank all those who came along each week – you worked hard and have improved loads since the first week and I hope you continue to try your hand at some of the techniques I have taught you.
Over the weeks we have mastered watercolours, oils, pencils as well as the use of gesso as an undercoat. Keep painting.
Our Rights Respecting School Ambassadors met today to share ideas on ways in which we could improve our playgrounds. They worked so well together and came up with some great ideas.

Mrs Williams and the Ambassadors also discussed how we are getting on on our journey to our Gold Level award. We know what our next steps are and we will work hard to achieve Gold.?
