St Kevin's Primary and Nursery

Fabulous crazy hair styles in Primary 4/5. Well done to all!

This week the children participated in Crazy Hair Day. They all had a fabulous time with their creative hairstyles.

Primary two also visited Stepps Library to listen to author Lari Don tell the story of The Secret of the Kelpie starring a shape shifting water horse.

This week in Primary Three we have enjoyed further developing our ball skills in P.E.

After spending a few weeks playing bench ball we are excited to be moving on to netball.

We have been practicing different ways of throwing and passing the ball, as well as trying to score goals by shooting into the net.

Today we were lucky to have an extra amazing day at school with not only Crazy Hair Day, but a birthday party for one of our very special classmates. A big thanks to the parents for providing us with lots of treats and party bags!

What a fantastic way to end the first term of P3!!

We enjoyed learning about the life and work of the very famous Glasgow born artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh .

We enjoyed learning about his work and how it can still be seen in various places around Glasgow such as the Willow Tearooms and Glasgow Art school .

We decided to have a go ourselves to create a painting in the style of Mackintosh . We are delighted with our progress so far …

Hello again from Primary 6/7

This week we have been putting the finishing touches to our William Wallce portraits and here are some of our works of art.

Some fabulous examples of our artwork

We have been learning about key Scottish figures in the Scottish Wars of Independence and a prominent figure was Sir William Wallace and his role as guardian of Scotland.

We looked at portraiture as a medium and used sketching and oil pastels to create our portraits. We are very proud of them and are looking forward to them being displayed in our class and in the school corridor alongside our biographies of William Wallace.

Showing off our work

We will be looking at landscapes next and will be creating some beautiful Scottish landscapes using different art mediums and techniques.
