Newton Farm Primary School and Nursery Class

We had a fantastic time on our recent school trip to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum!

During our tour of the museum, the children explored different areas of the museum and had the opportunity to look and learn about a variety of animals. They were excited to spot familiar animals and discover new and unusual ones too! We talked about where the animals come from and what makes them special. The children asked thoughtful questions and showed great curiosity as they explored.

One of the highlights of our visit was a fantastic workshop all about expressions and emotions. The children learned how we can tell how someone is feeling by looking at their facial expressions. They explored different emotions such as happiness, sadness, surprise and anger and discussed times when they might feel these emotions.

As part of the workshop, the children created their own expressive faces using clay. They carefully shaped eyes, mouths and eyebrows to show different feelings. We were so impressed with their creativity and the thoughtful way they represented emotions through their designs!

In school, we continued our creative learning by making beautiful Valentine’s Day cards. The children worked hard on their designs, showing care and creativity. It was lovely to see them taking pride in their work.

In maths, we have been working hard on subtraction within 5. The children have been using concrete materials, number lines and cubes to help them take away and find the answers. 

In literacy, we have been consolidating the different sounds we have learnt during the past 2 weeks. The class are showing increased confidence with their sounds and applying this to their work. 

It has been a very busy and exciting week, filled with creativity and lots of learning. Thank you for your continued support, we love sharing these special experiences with you!

I hope you all have a lovely February weekend.
