Today we had a fantastic time participating in ‘Lantern Making’ with Catrine Community Council.

We were joined by Sorn Primary  to build our lanterns. We had a brilliant time and can’t wait to see our lovely lanterns on display at ‘Make Catrine Sparkle’.

It was lovely to see so many of you on Wednesday at our Literacy Open morning. P4/5 loved talking our adults through our task maps and showing off our novel study work.

Take a look at some of snaps from the day!

This week we also created some lovely landscape art. We focused on perspective and learned about ‘horizon lines’ and ‘disappearing points’ to create some cool effects!

This week we continued our ‘Artist of the Week’ study. We teamed up with P3/4 to discover more about the very famous artist Vincent Van Gogh.

We learned about a type of art called still life and were inspired by one of his most famous works ‘Sunflowers’. 

We used oil pastels to create our own beautiful pieces of art.

Our art will be on display for you to have a look at during our literacy open morning on Wednesday next week! 

This week we also finished up our novel study of ‘The Twits’. 

P4/5 and Mrs Govans managed to trick Miss Mclean by turning our classroom upside down! She thought that our class had been visited by Muggle-Wump and we found it very funny!

We have learned so much about the 6 comprehension strategies throughout this study and have really enjoyed the book. Look out for our written reviews!

This week we celebrated Halloween in Primary 4/5.

We had a spooky day filled with lots of Halloween themed activities. We enjoyed working in mixed groupings to complete comprehension activities based on a spooky text.

We also enjoyed creating Halloween themed problem solving tasks and challenging each other.

In the afternoon, we joined up with P3/4 and had an awesome time. We had a spider origami making station (taught by our very talented Coral!), Frankenstein Art, Halloween doodles, some party games and a delicious snack.

Take a look at some snaps from our day.
