The end of Term 1 and the beginning of Term 2 brought lots of birthdays. This meant it was time to open the class birthday cards! We always love seeing what our friends have written about us and singing happy birthday.

Happy birthday! 🎈

Miss Hamilton and Primary 5.1 decided to enter an interesting competition that offered the chance to scoop the top prize of a visit to Edinburgh Zoo!

Pupils had to design a kite that reflected the link between Scotland and China. We studied Chinese Kites from our Mandrain room and noted how colourful and detailed they were.

We then decided whether we wanted to work in groups or on our own to design and build our kites.

We made use of different skills within our groups and used a variety of media to create our colourful kites.

We can’t wait to add the finishing touches when they are dry! All entries will be sent off soon.

Primary 5.1 got into the spirit of Valentine’s Day by learning to sew their very own lovebug that they could gift to someone special. 🥰

The class were introduced to proper sewing needles and the few pupils who had experience of sewing shared their knowledge and tips with the class. We then got started on marking and cutting our colourful felt, learning how to create a running stitch.we then applied it so we could fasten the two sheets of felt together.

Once our lovebug was sewn, we stuffed it full of fluff and closed the gap with our needle and thread. We were very careful with our sewing needles but we gained lots of confidence once we started sewing.

Lastly we added some googly eyes and gave our lovebug a name. 💕 Did a little lovebug turn up in your house?

After our novel study of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, we decided to polish up our dancing skills and learn The Oompa Loompa dance from the 2005 Tim Burton film adaptation.

We used a step-by-step guide on the big screen in our classroom to learn the moves and keep the beat.

Once we had our moves perfected, we split off into groups to create our own 16 beat group dance to compliment the part in the  story where Augustus Gloop gets sucked up the pipe! We worked brilliantly in our groups, creatively coming up with inventive ways to tell a story through movement.

We also had A LOT of fun being Oompa Loompas for the day! 😝🤪

DANCE TROOP TIME!
