The children were joined today by our visiting Specialists.
This included Mrs McGaffney for Music, Mrs Bennett for Drama and Miss Mailer for Art.
In the morning Miss Mailer built marvellous lighthouses with the children and showed them the easy way to draw seagulls.
Mrs McGaffney used the Ipads with the children. They put sounds to pictures using musical instruments and their voices and then recorded these on the Ipads. These were then demonstrated to the children on the smartboard.
In the afternoon, the children made still pictures and used mime for different scenes of the Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch story.
Thank you all our specialists who came today and made the day so enjoyable.
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.Our display of our Scottish activities
All week we learnt about symmetrical shapes and lines of symmetry.
We made *stain glass window” pictures of symmetrical minibeasts. Then we made symmetrical insects on the painter programme on the computer. We also went outside around the village, looking for symmetrical shapes in the real world.
Some of us also looked in catalogues and cut out symmetrical objects to make posters.
