Primary 3 had an opportunity to try out the new apps on the new IPads. Once the children had finished all of their work they had fun exploring the new apps. The popular apps were Spelling City and Puppet Theatre. We are looking forward to using them next week to help us with our topic research about the 1990s.

P6/7 create 1960’s inspired moodboards
As part of our topic on the ‘swinging sixties’ P6/7 have been learning all about the fashion trends of the decade. In groups we have started to create moodboards on fashion trends which symbolised the sixties. We have been using different textures, colours and images to capture themes such as psychedelic flower power, futuristic space age, mods and rockers. Once complete, we will create our own 60’s inspired outfits with the help of our boards.

P5 Fashion in the 70s!
Primary 5 have been using their iPads in class this week to research what men and women’s fashion was like in the 70’s. They enjoyed talking about platform shoes and could not believe men and woman both wore them! The children also tried on some outfits which were similar to ones we looked at in class.
We used our iPads to take pictures in some 70’s clothes and then designed our own outfits using bright colours and different patterns.
Primary Six Homework Topic 1970s
Primary Six and The 1970s
!
This term P6 pupils will be reaserching a variety of information relating to the 1970s. We will be using a variety of sources to find out about things such as fashion, music, sporting achievements, playground games, technology, decimlisation, local and world news events.
As a homework task, pupils have been asked to create a display of knowledge poster. Children can either focus on one area or include a variety of their own choosing. The layout is optional but should include relevant headings, graphics, photographs and some written detail. Can I ask that posters be handed in by 23rd September please.
In class we have been learning to sing and dance to ‘Show me the way to Amarillo’ as well as learning about who The Bay City Rollers were and learning ‘Shang-a-lang’. Not sure who is having the most fun!
