This week we explored the work of Piet Mondrian. We shared our thoughts on what we liked and disliked about his work and used the examples as an inspiration for our designs. We used various shades of the primary colours blue, red and yellow and circles and rectangles to create our designs.

We looked at making amounts with different coins using items from our shop. We started thinking about coin equivalents we could use to make amounts and will continue this next week to develop our understanding further.

It was a chilly slot in the MUGA on Tuesday but we continued our target practice and played lots of running games to help keep us warm.

We celebrated Book Week Scotland with a trip to our local library where we are all very excited to receive a special bookbag to keep at home. The children did very well walking up the hill with a partner and were all superb in the library, enjoying a couple of stories and songs led by the librarian. Thank you very much to our lovely parent helpers. We then welcomed our buddies down in the afternoon to help us choose our favourite book and write a book review together.

Enjoy your weekend and stay safe in the snow!
