Rainy Day

I can create and present work using the visual elements of line, shape, form, colour, tone, pattern and texture.

LI: To create pictures using line.

We explored different patterns using a variety of lines.

After we learned how to use different lines to create patterns we made rainy day pictures. We hope you like the patterns we made.

 

Flat Stanley Measuring

We have been learning to measure using metres and centimetres. We drew around each other with chalk to create our own flat person, then measured the height of our outline. Our flat people were very colourful.

I can estimate how long or heavy an object is, or what amount it holds, using everyday things as a guide, then measure or weigh it using appropriate instruments and units. MNU 1-11a

WELCOME TO PRIMARY 3.2!!!!

We have now been in Primary 3 for 2 weeks and have all settled in nicely. We have started reading Flat Stanley, and so far we  found out he got flattened by a bulletin board. He’s enjoying being flat because he can slide under doors and because he was flat he fitted through a grating to fetch his mother’s ring that had fallen down the drain.  He was also able to visit relatives in California as he got posted there in an envelope.

We made outfits for our own Flat Stanley to wear to California.

In maths, we have been learning to measure in metres and we are going to be measuring in centimetres too. We all measured our height and compared ourselves to the height of Flat Stanley who is 122cm tall.

These are some of the things we have enjoyed so far –

Melody – Learning about Flat Stanley.

Hamish – Not having homework.

Callen – Learning about Flat Stanley and painting our rocks.

Megan – I enjoyed reading.

Remi – Reading Flat Stanley and doing Brain Buzz.

Space

Primary 2 have been learning all about Space. We learned some facts about each of the planets and tried to come up with different ways to remember the order of the planets. After that we learned that the Earth rotates and revolves around the Sun and this is why we have day and night. We took a visit to the Glasgow Science Centre and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Planetarium. During ICT we have been creating our own space PowerPoints and lots of us have been sharing our learning at home! In Art we learned all about Peter Thorpe’s abstract space art and we decided to create some of our own. In Literacy we researched Neil Armstrong and wrote a newspaper article about the moon landing.

We were creating space pictures. We looked at pictures of Peter Thorpe’s artwork and then we used pastels to create our own. Ben

We were learning about abstract art. We used bold colours like black and red together. We thought about hot and cold colours. This helped us to add more detail.

We got a space book to look for planet words. We put the words on cards and used them to spell the planet words. Archie

The Earth rotates and revolves around the Sun. It takes 365 days for the Earth to revolve around the Sun. Megan

It takes 24 hours for the Earth to rotate. If we are facing the Sun then we get light and it is day. If we are facing away from the Sun then it is night. Melody

We went outside and we had to find a partner and one of us had to be the Earth and the other person was the Sun. We had to rotate and revolve around the Sun. If Miss Watson shouted daytime we had to face our partner (the Sun) and if she shouted nighttime then we had to face the other way. Callen

 

Halloween

Primary 2.2 celebrated Halloween by making some creepy bats and monsters! We also wrote our own scary stories using some fabulous spooky wow words. We also had a super time dancing the night away at our Halloween disco.

“I coloured in the paper plate all in black then I cut out eyes and I cut out legs and folded them up then I stuck them on.”  Bradley

“I brought my bat mask home to use it as a Halloween decoration. I liked the eyes because they were kind of big so they were staring.”  Hamish

“I used some spooky words in my story then I added pictures of a witch, a bat and some pumpkins.”  Isla

“I loved the spooky signs and decorations at the Halloween disco. Some of the costumes were really scary. We done some fun dancing and got some juice and crisps and it was so fun!”  Zoe
