We enjoyed a Scottish activities morning in class where we recited Robert Burn’s Selkirk Grace before our snack of pancakes. We used rhythm sticks to tap out the rhythm of ‘Donald Whaur’s Yer Troosers’ and danced the St Bernard’s Waltz. We played boccia with tatties, instead of balls, and had fun welly whanging where we hurled wellies at a target. We played the Hokey Cokey my putting ‘oor richt airm in’ and sang Scottish children’s songs.
We played hopscotch in the garden and created a Robert Burns silhouette picture.

We used brushes and toy car wheels to create colourful tartan designs. We used our designs to make paper kilts.
Water Wheel
We looked at a video of a ship on the River Clyde which is called the PS Waverley. It is a paddle steamer. We made our own water wheel to show how water can make things move.

The Stars class practiced hard for our virtual Christmas Showcase. We performed to the song ‘Let it Snow’ by Michael Buble. We brought in hats and scarves and dressed up as snowmen. We created a snowflake backdrop and acted out and signed to the song. We used the parachute to float tissue paper snowballs into the air. Many people said they’d enjoyed our performance.
We had fun today exploring chalk art effects to create an Aurora Borealis picture. We explored different creative techniques such as blending and colour mixing to create just the right effect. We were successful learners as we learned about the phenomenon!

We chose a snowman design then drew round our hands to make felt handprints. We cut out and glittered snowflakes, used paper doilies and cotton wool pads to form the body and used pipe cleaners for the nose and hat. We made a colourful pom pom for the hat. Didn’t it turn out well?
For Saint Andrew’s Day we were successful learners and created some lovely art.
Thistles using different colours of wool.
We have enjoyed our Autumn Stories, especially ‘There was an Old Lady who swallowed some leaves’, so we made some cool artwork using coffee filters, felt pens and the water spray.
