P7B Term 2 – Week 3: 8/11/19

In P7 this week we have been very busy. We have done lots of different things such as art, gymnastics and writing. It has been very fun. We also had a sports assembly that Miss Regan showed us some of her gymnastics. This has been a fantastic week!!!

This week we have been continuing our gymnastics with Miss Kelly. We have enjoyed learning about movement. Some of the movements were hard like the teddy bear roll. Miss Kelly set up lots of different gymnastics equipment and fun activities. Miss Regan used to be a gymnast. She showed us some of her cool skills in our Sports Assembly.

This week in writing we have continued learning about writers craft. This week we focused on a story called “The Graveyard” and  all of our stories scared Miss Kelly with the terrifying monsters we came up with.

This week we did some space art using chalk and pastel and we learnt about some of the planets in our solar system. We started of by drawing the sun and circles for where our planets would go. After that we got our pastels and started to colour in all of our planets. My favourite part was when we got to colour in all the planets because we got to smudge the chalks and get messy!

In science we have been learning about space,and in art this week we continued our focus of space by looking at the artist called Peter Thorpe and learned about what abstract art is. We then made an abstract background and drew a rocket to put on the background we made. We also learned about how Peter Thorpe came to make the rocket paintings, and he used his old paint palettes to make the background. He loved space and science so that’s why he created paintings about space. 

On Wednesday we had a sports assembly where we were presented with a Sports Scotland Gold School Award, and Miss Regan revealed her inner flexibility by showing the school some of the most amazing gymnastics Crookfur has seen.
