In Art, Primary 6c have been creating a piece of artwork based on a famous artist called Katsushika Hokusai. The art piece is called The Great Wave.  First we were given a template of the wave that Miss Bell had for us. Next we extended the black lines to the edge and we then chose three beautiful shades of blue, light blue and dark blue to colour the wave. This was to help create depth in our painting. Then we designed the background with lovely watercolour paints and we did this by mixing warm and cool colours. After that we neatly dabbed on some white acrylic paint to make it stand out and look very realistic too.

On Wednesday 4th November we had Mandarin with a native Chinese speaker. She taught us how to have a short conversation in Mandarin. We also played a true or false game, to get to know her better and a game were you had to catch a cube shaped bean bag. If we caught it we would have a short conversation with her! Next week she will tell all of us our names in Mandarin.

 

On Friday 6th November we had a Judo lesson with Brian Long our Judo coach. He has recently fought against cancer. He taught us how to do a pin. Before we did that we all were given blue judo suits and some people were given belts.

Lastly, we had another visitor  in our class for French  called Matilde and she helped us with our French pronunciation of sports. In our booklets, we completed a task about people liking and disliking sports. Next, we started to learn about numbers in French and we played two games of bingo and the winners were Zak and Finn.
