Miss McLeod 🙂 Kirkhill Primary Meet the Teacher September 2019
We have been learning more of abstract art and we created an abstract flower painting using colour,shapes and different patterns first we had to draw 12 squares 3 lines down and 2 lines to the side.
Next we painted the boxes in different colours by mixing paint. 
 
Then we painted a border round each boxes, thinking about which colours go with each other.
After painted different colours of circles and added shapes and patterns around the circles to create petals and we added smaller circles inside of the bigger circles to create a variety of flowers.
“We liked mixing the paint to make new shades and colours!” Mia and Ameya.

We were competing in house teams playing ball games using times tables.
We were also passing the ball around in a circle as fast as we could, counting in BIG numbers. It got even more challenging when someone dropped the ball because we had to start counting all over again.
Our team won!

Today, in writing, we were designing flyers for Kirkhill’s Summer Family Fun Day. We had to make sure they were eye catching, included key information and had a catchy slogan.
We were also discussing Consequences in Health and Wellbeing. We discussed a few scenarios with our partners and predicted what the consequence may be.

Today we were sharing the fabulous Science experiments we have been conducting at home. We enjoyed playing some of the super ‘tracks and trails ‘ games, which had been homemade. Lots of paper aeroplanes were tested and we had a lenghty discussion about our findings! Lewis produced a lovely Spring poem and Callum enjoyed performing an experiment in the class with different types of liquid- very messy but fun! Our class is also smelling very fragrant after all the perfume potions.
P4b made marble runs in groups. We had to make the marble run for as long as we could. We used cardboard boxes and cardboard struts. At first the marbles rolled too quickly so we tried to slow them down using bumpy and sticky and rough materials.They were all AMAZING but the best marble run lasted 8 seconds.Hopefully we can do something similar again.
I really enjoyed having a challenge and working with my friends. Holly Mc
The tricky bit was sticking all the struts together so the marble didn’t fall. Jessica
We were learning how to create boats using a design brief and we worked in groups. First we thought about it, discussed it and drew a plan on paper and wrote down what materials would be best to use.
 
We needed to make sure that it would float, stay strong and be waterproof. We learned about the different parts of different types of boats like the hull, propellers, anchor, rudder etc.
   
We learned to use teamwork to create them so after that we tested them in water to see if they could float and most of them could float.
“Our boat sank when we first tested it in water, then we realised the flag was too heavy so we took that off and tested it again. It now floats!” Holly A and Evah
“We made our sail out of pencils and cellophane.” Mikhail and Campbell
Our school show is called ‘All at Sea’. It is about merfolk and pirates. They fight over who is going to rule the sea. We have been rehearsing on stage in the gym hall. Today, we used microphones for the first time.
“I’ve really liked learning the actions for the songs and being a dancer.” Tara.
“My favourite part is singing the songs.” Katy.
“I am impressed with everyone’s acting, especially Blair who plays Captain Scarypants.” Robin.
