We have been learning to create an ancient map showing the location of Scotland and Egypt. We made our map look ancient by crunching it up, tearing the edges and staining it with teabags. We needed to watch and listen carefully while our teacher demonstrated this technique. We could use this technique in the future to make other documents look ancient.
We worked together to create a giant image of King Tut. We made the outline by tracing around a picture on the interactive white board. We then worked in groups to paint the image using gold and blue paint. We all loved taking part in this activity because it was fun. We would like to use this approach for different art projects in the future.
As part of their Health and Wellbeing learning, the children have been thinking about resilience and helpful thought processes when things go wrong. Bounce Back is an acrostic to help us all remember these strategies.
During their Golden Time, the children who chose ICT created a Bounce Back movie. They animated bouncing balls and filmed each other saying the strategies. The film is below (with a special effect to keep our children’s images private).

We have been learning about ‘Life on the Ocean Wave’. In science we have been learning about some of the creatures who live under the sea and in Social Studies we have been learning to compare some aspects of our lives today with the lives of pirates who lived in the past. Here are some photographs of our classroom displays.

As part of our ECO topic we went into the playground and looked for litter. We used litter pickers.
Primary 1a and 1b are busy being angels for the Infant Nativity.
Primary 1b listened to a story called Pumpkin Soup, then we made our own masks. Can you see us?
