Special thanks to our star of the day, Sachin, for teaching us all about the Hindu festival of Holi today. We thoroughly enjoyed his presentation!

Remember if you would like to teach the class about a festival then just speak to Mrs Smart.

“Window Wonderland” in Strathbungo is this Saturday 29th February. A free event from 6pm – 10pm with lots of amazing window displays for you to admire.

Today we explored the modern architecture of the Scottish parliament building, discussing what we thought and felt about it.  We drew different aspects of the building using pencil and used shading to try and create form. We are really proud of the results.

P6c were getting excited about their new topic today. We spent some time gathering information  about what we know now and what we would like to find out. It looks like it’s going to be an interesting study!

Today we welcomed a new teacher to our class, Mr Tobia. He shared his learning and expertise with us and taught us how to calculate the area of a compound shape. We thought he was a very good teacher; he was clear and confident in his subject. Thank you Mr Tobia!

 

 

We have been learning about the Chinese New Year Festival in class. This Sunday in George Square there will be a free celebration event  between 1130 hours and 1300 hours. The event is unticketed and promises to be an afternoon “full of colour and sound; with a traditional lion dance, live martial arts display, Chinese dance performances and more…” Sounds like an interesting and fun event if you are free.

A huge thank you to Siddharth for teaching us about the festival of Pongal today. We really enjoyed his presentation and were impressed with how confident and knowledgeable he was.

If anyone else would like to share their knowledge of a religious festival with us then just let Mrs Smart know.

Today we visited Scotland Street School museum and “enjoyed” experiencing life as a pupil at a Victorian school in 1884 but are very glad to be back in 2020.

 

  

We had lots of fun at our stage party yesterday. We danced, played musical statues,  corners and the fastest game of pass-the-parcel ever known. But best of all we wrapped up our teacher head to toe in Christmas wrapping paper!

 

Our Christmas party is to be held on Wednesday 18th December in the afternoon.  Please bring an extra snack and drink to enjoy during our party and remember that you can wear your party clothes to school on the day.
