Fame – Fortune!

Just a quick reminder that we’re at Eden Court tomorrow for Scottish Opera. We’re leaving school around 11.45am. Please make sure you’ve got a packed lunch with you.

We’re famous – after our FANTASTIC video that we made last week for our friends in New Zealand – as you can see from the post on Friday, many people from their school have commented on our video. The link that we’ve established with Melville Intermediate School is excellent – a brilliant way to learn about different cultures. They’ve written about us on their blog; some other schools have commented saying what excellent ambassadors you are for Scotland. Check out their blog:

As part of our writing this week, we’re learning how to write an artist’s résumé – using humour. These are going to be ‘showcased’ at our garden party, along with our artwork. For homework for tomorrow, you have three tasks:

1. Choose a “posh” name
2. Select an “interesting experience” you’ve had as an artist – the more exaggerated the better
3. Give an “interesting fact” about yourself – this can be a white lie

Many of you have posted this on the blog already (we’re loving the suggestions so far) – it should be posted on the blog by tomorrow, ready for writing!

See you in the morning,
Count Cook, Madame MacLeod and Princess Prentice

Another FANTASTIC Friday!

Another FANTASTIC day in P6/7 has led to the end of another PHENOMENAL week!

In Mapping with Mrs.Mac today we learned about the different Scottish Regions. For the game that you played to day in class- click the link below:

REGIONS OF SCOTLAND GAME

With Mr.Cook in French we completed our French calendars which are now fantastic! Our job is now to change these EVERY DAY. We ended the day singing a French animals song which was a bit of a tongue-twister.

In Art with Mrs.Prentice we finished off our weaving pictures, which are now looking rather psychadelic. We then made some WONDERFUL ‘Sun Captures’ inspried by the fantastic Andy Warhol.

To top the day off, some of us went to Netball club with Mrs P and Mrs MacLeod (Finlay’s Mum) after school!

Have a wonderful weekend,
Mr.Cook, Mrs.MacLeod and Mrs.Prentice

Bon week-end!

REMEMBER: Your picture homework for the ‘Family Favourites Cook Book’ for MONDAY!

Another fabulous week for Primary 6/7. Seems like only yesterday we were updating the blog last Friday. The good news is as of Monday we have INTERNET in our new building meaning that we can get the ‘Building Blog’ up and running again, and get our Smart boards up and running!

A fantastic Friday afternoon in specialist groups:

With Mrs.P, there was the creation of some beautiful watercolour still life sweetpea paintings which have been added to our display cabinet. We now have enough art work to start a small art gallery.

Mrs Mac took us around the world again in another episode of Geography. Check this GAME out by clicking the link below. There are 3 levels. You could all manage ‘intermediate’, but we challenge you to do ‘expert’.

CONTINENTS AND OCEANS GAME

Finally with Monsieur Brasier, we were able to say what the weather was and each of our four seasons. Equipe Lyon and Equipe Dijon are joint top on our leader board with 30 points, and in joint third place, Equipe Marseille and Equipe Nice with 27 points.
