Today we discussed some of the art produced by Vincent Van Gogh. We then produced some art that merged Christmas and Van Gogh!

Our whole school Eco Day was a great success on Friday Pupils enjoyed taking part in a range of Eco and Fairtrade related activities.
These included
- Building models from recyclable material.
- learning about how to make compost.
- tasting Fairtrade fruit and finding out where our food comes from.
- listening to a recycling presentation from Viridor.
- Making energy saving promises for Switch Off Fortnight.
Sadly due to the rain we we couldn’t plant our bulbs or do the Eco Scavenger Hunt, however we are hoping to do these this week.

The boys and girls enjoyed our Greek food tasting lesson today. They were very adventurous and tried a variety of foods, such as, feta cheese, balsamic vinegarette, green and black olives, olive oil, crusty bread and green and black grapes.
They were also engaged when learning about food safety and hygiene.

P 5/6 trip
Yesterday, we had a fabulous time learning more about the Romans. First we went to the Heritage Centre in Motherwell where we learned how the Romans introduced lettuce and rabbits to Britain (amongst other things)! We were also able to hold weapons and dress like the Romans did. After lunch we then travelled to Strathclyde Park to see the ruins of the Roman baths. Everyone enjoyed a fantastic day and pupils represented St Kevin’s excellently.

Ice Investigation in P3/4
This week our P3/4 scientists took part in an Ice Investigation with Miss Fergusson exploring different methods of melting.
We decided to time three different methods of melting ice to see which one would be the quickest.
The methods were:
- In our hands.
- At room temperature.
- Under a high heat.
To make sure the experiment was fair we used equal sizes of ice for each method.
We made our predictions and then undertook our experiments.
After timing the three different methods our results showed us that ice melts quickest under a high heat.

Terracotta Warriors in P3/4
This week our P3/4 sculptors have been learning about China’s Terracotta Army.
After looking at the Warriors online and hearing the fascinating story of why they were created, we decided to create our own miniature versions out of terracotta clay.
We has great fun experimenting with the clay and forming our Warriors.
Unfortunately some of them ended up losing some limbs, but we realised this was more authentic as many of the real Terracotta Warriors are in a similar state!

Remembrance Day
Hello from Primary 7,
We have been learning about WW1 this past week as it’s Remembrance Day. We have learned about how the war started, the impact it had on Britain and factors leading to the end of the war. It is important to remember those people who bravely fought for their country in the Great War as well as wars since.
“When you go Home, tell them of us and say, For your Tomorrow, we gave our Today” John Maxwell Edmunds 1916
We learned about the poem ‘In Flanders fields’ by John McCrae. We were inspired by this poem to create silhouette pictures.

Lots of fun was had by all at the Halloween party. Miss Jackson was very impressed with our costumes, everything from zombies, skeletons, devils, spooky dolls as well as some familiar faces from Harry Potter.
We cant believe this will be our last Halloween in St Kevin’s, we played games, had Halloween snacks, watched a Halloween movie and danced.
