Learning in the Sunshine

Leave a comment

Primary 5 have loved being able to learn in our fabulous gardens in the sunshine.

Expressive Arts

Today we were developing our skills in drawing still life objects. We looked at some of the flowers in our garden and discussed how everybody looks at an object differently. Some of us prefer to focus on the detail, whilst others like to look at the shapes and colours.

Taught Writing

We also enjoyed the sunshine whilst writing persuasive pieces of writing. We were trying to convince people to save the rainforests and to prevent deforestation.

Gardening

We have also been very helpful in making sure our vegetables and plants are being watered in the garden.

P2 Bug Hotel in Progress

1 Comment

Primary 2 were excited when the pallets to create their Bug Hotel finally arrived today.

They started filling each layer of the Bug Hotel with their mini pots and all the resources that people donated as well as the materials that they scavenged from the school grounds.

We still have alot of work to do to encourage creatures to come to our hotel. We can’t wait to finish it!
