We have been learning about Scottish culture through our Katie Morag topic.

This afternoon, we took inspiration from Scottish artist Steven Brown and made our very own McCoos. We always try to look at the work of artists and comment on what we like and how the art makes us feel.

‘I did lots of different colours to try and make mine look like Steven Brown’s McCoo’ – Daniel

‘We are making colourful McCoos. I was concentrating very hard to make wavy lines.’ – Muneeb

‘McCoos are highland cows that are very colourful. It’s very fun to make them.’ – Miriam

‘The artist is Steven Brown. When he was a kid he needed to leave school early to go to work to get money. Now he makes art.’ – Maddie

On Tuesday we had our Fruit Party for Tu B’Shvat. We made special placemats to have our fruit on. We then went through to Primary 1 and had a joint party.

First, we named some fruit in French.

We played a game where we were passing fruits around in a circle and if the music stopped and we were holding a fruit we had to name it in French.

We sang a song about French fruit.

Then, we got to taste some fruit!

‘I liked tasting all of the fruit’ – Samantha and Sammy R

‘All of the fruits were yummy. I didn’t really like the pomegranates and the dates’ – Luca

‘I liked the song, the song said the words and we had to sing them back’ – Maddie , Jessica, Maya, Ross and Daniel

‘I liked the olives’ – Harry, Calum, Ben and Tia
