This week we have been learning about a famous Scottish victorian artist, and architect, called Charles Rennie Macintosh. We are very proud of the art work we produced inspired by his original designs.

Primary 6 have an artistic challenge to round off 2019’s homework. Taking inspiration from the Strathbungo Winter Wanderland we would like you to create an art installation in one window of your home. This can then be viewed from outside at night time.

This does not need to be a stained glass window. It can be anything at all. You can make use of colour, transparent, translucent and opaque materials. You can create a display of something you collect, or your favourite toys, but you must think how to present them with the window framing your work. You could create a sculpture, one year a home had mountains created with sheets, a bike hung above that being ridden by a man created by stuffed clothes and a football. Another window was filled with balloons. You might want to share a message, you might want to create a snow scene for winter, ‘tis the season!

Many examples can be found online by following this link

Windows from around the World

You should produce an annotated sketch of your plan before you begin. This should be brought into school with you on the 13th of December. We will be sharing our experiences, including any difficulties and how we overcame problems.

Share your work by taking a picture from outside your home, this can be ‘handed in’ on Teams or emailed to the school address. We will add the photos to the class blog for all to see. You could also invite your friends to come and see your work as the nights become dark earlier. It is up to you how long you keep your installation on display.

Have fun!

We enjoyed sharing our learning with our parents and carers today. We hope they got lots of ideas for ways they can help us to practice our multiplication tables at home.

Create the calculation using concrete materials

Play “kahoot!”

Play multiplication connect four

A simple game of “squares”

Build a “tower of power”

Make a simple board game with a pack of cards and a dice

Make your own game of “kaboom!”

This morning we read Fairy Stories we wrote with Mrs Jamieson to Mrs Wallace’s class. They really enjoyed our stories!

Remember that tomorrow P6 are having a book swap. If you have a book that you are finished with, that is still in good condition, bring it in to school tomorrow and swap it for something different.
