Observational Drawing
The children have been learning about shape, tone, wash and form. They used water to diffuse the lines to create a wash effect.
Mandarin is back🤩
Mrs Qiu returned to Primary 6. The children were learning about The Mid Autumn festival that is celebrated in China.
Comparing lifestyles and culture.
The children are reading their class novel “ Oranges in no man’s land”. They were interested in learning more about Lebanon and created mind maps to show their learning. They compared the lifestyle and culture of Lebanese people to their own culture through mini presentations.
Personal School Targets
We have identified achievements, skills and areas for development.
Fashion Through The Decades
Primary 6/2 have been learning how to compare and contrast. They investigated fashion styles through the decades and identified similarities and differences to their own style.
