art – Class of 2014

P5d Get Creative!

Design Technologies:

This afternoon, we have been very busy constructing models using a variety of recyclable materials. Yesterday, we spent some time researching and planning out what we wanted to construct. We considered the materials we could use, their properties, the time it would take and how we wanted it to turn out.

Today, we brought cardboard, paper and some boxes to school from home. All of these materials are recyclable and we enjoyed putting them together.

We had great fun! We created shields, swords, daggers and more. Have a look at what we made!

Well done P5d, you worked really hard on these. Fantastic results 🙂

Breaking News!

We have been really enjoying getting our hands on newspapers and reading about current events. First News and Newsround have been keeping us up to date with local and national news.

Christmas prep:

We designed and painted small Christmas tree pots. These look really fantastic displayed in the corridor in school.

Very creative P5 🙂 They look really cool, Well done.

Sports Leaders: Football Session

We had a fantastic sports session on Monday with St Ninian’s sports leaders who played football games and taught us a range of different skills. Have a look below:

Numeracy Fun!

We loved trying out a new Numeracy game ‘Times table Rock stars”. It is a fun interactive game which is helping us to practise our multiplication and division facts!

China presentations:

We have loved hearing everyone’s presentations on China! Thank you for all of the hard work that was put in to them. Everybody did a fabulous job!

Outdoor Learning:

We consolidated the Numeracy we had been learning in class by taking our fractions work outside! Have a look below. We created improper fractions, equivalent fractions and mixed numbers!

Primary 5a

Today we participated in Reciprocal Reading. Each pupil took on one of five roles and within their group took turns to carry out their role. We showed our understanding of the text being read by asking a range of questions and using context clues to read unfamiliar words! We applied our knowledge of reading strategies to summarise, predict, question and clarify meanings! Pupils enjoyed leading their own learning!

Reciprocal Reading

Art & Technology

We have been creating a collaborative Chinese dragon using our art and technology skills. Today we began the process of painting the body of the dragon before it is put together in a 3D model! Well Done P5!
