Our Class Trip.

Today we visited the G.O.M.A in Glasgow for our class trip. A lady called Annette taught us about the different exhibitions on display and let us create some of our own art. We even had lunch in the sun at George Square! Big thanks to our parent helpers. Here are some pictures plus our favourite parts and things we learned about:

Millie – We learned how to print.

Lilly – We made candies from shapes that we saw and went round the galleries.

Amelie – I liked doing the printing and the modern art museum is in the city centre of Glasgow.

Jessica – I liked learning how to print and we made shapes for our lollipop sticks.

Harrison – We coloured in soup cans like Andy Warhol.

Katie – We designed our own soup cans – mines was Super Soup with Super Taste!

Sonny – I liked when we were split up into our groups and went around the G.O.M.A.

Callan – I liked when we were making the sweeties on the sticks.

Erika – I liked when I made a picture for the wall and making the sweeties.

Lucy – I liked when we sketched things. I sketched a fairy house.

Lewis – I liked it when we went to George Square and I was feeding the pigeons and they all came flying down. Miss McPhee got scared because she doesn’t like birds!

Jack S – I liked it when I chased the birds in George Square.

Jack C – I learned how to make candy floss with paper.

Alaina – I liked sketching a painting. It was the elephant painting and I drew the flowers with hummingbirds.

Blake – My favourite part was chasing the birds away in George Square.

Iona -I liked sketching the different artwork in the gallery.

Eilidh – I liked when I did the sketching because I sketched the big sweetie tin.

Cole – I liked seeing everything in the G.O.M.A!

Kobi – I learned about Eduardo Paolozzi.

Zak – I designed Electric Soup!

A Lovely Start to the Week.

We made the most of the beautiful weather yesterday and went outside first thing to plant our flowers. Everyone got a chance to use the trowel and some people got to help with the planting part and watering. We will have different ‘gardeners’ each day who will be responsible for keeping them watered and helping them to grow.

Mrs Ross even let us enjoy some free-play as part of our P.E. after all our hard work!

A short but busy week in p2/3!

Hello,

We may only have had a 3 day week but lots of exciting things have happened! Read on to find out more about our favourite things this week.

Today we had a visit from Mr Troup and the garden centre van to let us choose plants for our class to look after. We are going to plant them in their pots outside next week.

We also had fun using chalk pastels during our art lesson to create a sea and sunset background. Next week we will create our own sea creature sketches to add on to our beautiful collages.

However, the best thing about this week was definitely getting our eels delivered. They are now settling in well in their home tank for the next 3 and a half weeks.

Here are some interesting facts about our eels:

Lilly – Eels can live up until they are 85 (in captivity)

Amelie – Eels can only live out of water for 2 days but they need slime on them because if they did not have slime they would not be able to breathe. They breathe through their skin!

Katie – Eels like to hide in different places and if an eel if in a hiding spot the other eels usually follow.

Aaron – The eels are born in the Sargasso Sea which is just above Florida and either travel to America or to Scotland.

Jessica – eels love to play hide and seek and when they are playing hide and seek the other eels can smell them and know where to go.

Erika – It takes 2 years for the eels to get from Sargasso Sea to Scotland!

Callan – An eel can grow up to 1 metre long!

Alaina – Eels are endangered.

Bobath Scotland Visitor

On Tuesday, we were lucky enough to have a visit from Julie who works for Bobath Scotland delivering therapy to people with Cerebral Palsy (CP). All the children really enjoyed the session and would like to share some of their learning/most enjoyable parts.

Leah – I learned that if you get Cerebral Palsy it can affect your brain.

Cole – Cerebral Palsy can affect half your body sometimes. It is good to go to Bobath for help.

Eilidh – If you’ve got Cerebral Palsy it can affect your arm so you can’t bend it to eat so you can get a bendy spoon to help you. If they can’t feed themselves they can use a special tool to help them.

Iona – If you have Cerebral Palsy it will affect your movement.

Lilly – You get diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy usually when you are about 2 years old.
