All week we have been practising our song and dance for the Scottish Assembly. We had great fun learning the words and coming up with different dance moves for our performance of ‘Donald Where’s Your Troosers??’

We were very nervous on the lead up to our big moment but when we got up on stage all our nerves were gone and we were fantastic…so fantastic that we even won first place!!

Well done to everyone for your fantastic performance, you were great! 😀

Today we were mixing colours with black and white to get different tones of colour.

“I enjoyed mixing colours today because it was fun.” – Eva D

“I had fun learning about a new artist called Kandinsky and his style of painting.” – Caleb

“I enjoyed Kandinsky’s circle art. He uses mixed colours and different shapes in his work.” – Briony

“It was great fun painting, my favourite part was mixing the colours.” – Aimee

“Kandinsky’s style of painting is really cool. It is called abstract. I enjoyed doing an abstract painting in class today.” – Kayleigh

Have a look at some of our finished work!

Paper Mache Robots

Today we had great fun using paper mache to make our 3D robots strong and sturdy.

“I liked using paper mache for my robot because it was very messy!” – Innaya

“I loved doing the paper mache because it was fun and messy – afterwards my hands were very sticky!” – Kayleigh

“Today I enjoyed getting messy! The dried glue was peeling off my hands. I enjoyed making my robot stronger.” – Briony

“The paper mache was very fun. I liked sticking the paper on my robot.” – Alfie

Hopefully, tomorrow all the paper mache has dried. We will be painting on Wednesday as the Primary 5’s are out at swimming tomorrow and we don’t want them to miss out. Check our blog on Wednesday to see our robots coming to life!
