P5E World Cup Countries Research

This term Primary 5E have been using their ICT skills to research information on countries participating in the World Cup.

They had to find out lots of facts, locate their country on a world map and accurately copy down the country’s flag.

Then pupils were asked to create a bigger design of their flag using paint.

Miss Ellis was so impressed with their fantastic art work that she asked pupils if the flags could be used on the Girl Guiding float that was entering the Stewarton Bonnet Guild gala day parade last weekend.  This meant hundreds of people got to see their excellent work.

All the Stewarton Brownie and Guide leaders would like to thank P5E for allowing us to use their flags.

Mrs Findlay’s Rod Stewart Day!

Mrs Findlay had a surprise 60th celebration today! Walking in this morning, Mrs Findlay was treated to balloons, banners and music from her favourite artist, Rod Stewart. The day was complete with a parade around the playground and some Rod Stewart cupcakes for staff and pupils.

A huge thank you to all staff, parents and pupils who kept our surprise under wraps. It was a great day with lots of mini Rods around the school. A great effort by all.

Final Art Class

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.

RRS Ambassadors 2018

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.

We also wrote a letter to Tesco to thank them for donating oranges for our Race for Life and we thanked Ann Smith the Tesco Community Champion for supporting us on the day.

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.?

P6 John Muir Award Celebration

P6 had a great turnout for Onthank’s first ever John Muir Award Celebration this afternoon. Our P6s have been learning that John Muir was a Scottish born conservationalist, who lived in the late 1800s and later moved to America to found of some of their National Parks.

The award encourages children to explore natural areas near the school and over time develop and conserve them. You may have noticed that trees have been planted at the front of the school and a wide selection of vegetables have been planted near the nursery.

Congratulations to our P6 pupils, you have worked extremely hard! Thanks to all who came along to help us celebrate. We hope you had a good time and learned something new!

Please contact the office if you would be able to help us water and care for the plants over the summer holidays.

 

P2 Trip to Eglinton

A fab day with the P2s at Eglinton.  We were doing a scavenger hunt, bug and flower hunt before spending fun time on the play park.  No complaints from anyone regarding the choice of venue.  Everyone seemed to enjoy it.  Thanks to the extra parent helpers and friends who came along to aid the shepherding.
