Today we started Outdoor Learning Week 2017 at St. Albert’s and the sun was shining!

We have been writing poems inspired by the famous Beatle, John Lennon. We learned that he and the other Beatles were from Liverpool and that John Lennon was a hippy and supported peace. He wrote a song called Imagine which we listened to before we wrote our poems. Here are two examples of our efforts – come back tomorrow to see the videos we’re going to make of our poems.

We also did a Maths in Art lesson today as part of Glasgow Schools Maths Week. We looked for shapes in Islamic patterns and found we could name even those shapes that were unfamiliar-looking.

 

In the afternoon, we made a percussion orchestra with a triangles section, a bells section, a cymbals section and a ‘basket guiro’ section. We read the rhythms we’ve been getting used to over the past two weeks and played together keeping in time with the conductor.
