Christmas Market 2015

4 Comments

Recently our class have been organising an Enterprise by making crafts for a Christmas Market. First we had to plan and organise what we were going to sell and ask other classes to help out and make stuff.  We decided to design/paint Christmas tree baubles, Little treasure box’s and even make snowflakes! We all know we did a good job because they looked beautiful! We learned how to paint the Christmas baubles because you have to use different paint and it was hard but I got it. I found the baubles really challenging with the paint but I found away to overcome it by just keeping patient. It was difficult at first planning helpers to be on each staff along with a couple of pupils from that class. We had to go over money skills and we learned about profit and loss. It was important to practice giving change. Parents came for tea and coffee and bought some home baking as well as crafts. It was great success because we raised over £800! It was definitely a team effort from P7 and the rest of the school.

Christmas Time

Recently a group of us were asked to build our class Christmas Tree. We needed to work together and use our maths skills problem solving when we build the Christmas tree we had to match the letters on the branches and the stand.  When we had finished building it, anther group decorated it with Mrs Hunter. I think I have achieved how to build a Christmas tree 😉

Greenock Blitz

1 Comment

Recently we made a Greenock Blitz scene and it was lots of fun to make. Everybody went into groups to make lots of different things for it. There was a plane group where we had to do observational drawings of planes and add in loads of detail! Another group was a fire group were we had to make fire and to do that we got tissue paper yellow for the bottom, orange for the middle and red for the top. We had to tear small pieces of tissue paper and make a collage.  We also had a building group were we had to get lots of black card and look at silhouettes to make building shapes and we put white paint for the highlights of the windows. We put them along the bottom of the scene. We also had the  sky group. In the sky group we got white paper and painted them strips of blue with hints of black, grey and different shades of blue. The second last group was the search light group and in that group we got cut black card in a triangle and brushed yellow and white chalk  round the outside and some in the middle and we smudged it out. The final group was the bomb group. Some made black round bombs and some made the proper bombs they used in World War Two! We placed them down under the planes so its like they are dropping bombs! And that was how we made our WW2 Greenock Blitz scene!
