Hopefully you will agree what wonderful pictures the children made!
Junk Models and Class Talks
P1/2/3 made transport models at home from junk. They were absolutely fantastic!
Everyone then had to tell the class how they made it. The children peer assessed each other on how they talked to the class.
Our Rainbow of Hands
Everybody in P1/2/3 joined in and made a rainbow with painted hands. We did this after reading the story of Noah and the Ark.
First of all however, we learned the rhyme-
Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain to remember the colour order of the rainbow.
We also made our own rainbow pictures with oil pastels.
Puppets
We are going to make some puppets.
To start us off, we made some finger puppets.
We have now also made stick puppets.
This entailed us having to paint an egg for the head and decorating it with wool or felt for hair/hat. We then had to saw wood (25cm long) for the body and then covering it with material. (Thank you Mrs Gillies for the help!) We also had to attach another smaller piece of wood for an arm.
Hey Presto- a stick puppet!
The Chinese New Year
We have been learning all about the Chinese New Year. We learned what the zodiac year we were born in.
Mrs Davies brought in a Chinese dragon for us to see and we made little gift bags for our parents in the traditional Chinese colours.
Our Castle
The Friendly Dragon asked us to build a castle, so of course we had to oblige!
We built it from cardboard, painted it, made a portcullis from material and put flags on top!
To make our classroom more like Fairyland we have made Rapunzel pictures and learned how to plait.
We have also been sending letters to the Friendly Dragon after making old style paper in tea.
✩Scottish Week✩
During Scottish week we looked at different towns and cities in Scotland and plotted them on maps using co-ordinates.
We learned about Sir Alexander Fleming, the Scot who has saved millions of people discovering penicillin.
We looked at different Scottish castles and learned how to copy and paste pictures.
We carried on with our Scottish Dancing.
We also made Scottish flags from collage.
