We had great fun decorating our classroom door. We loved drawing and painting Gerald the giraffe from the book Giraffes Can’t Dance.  We went a tour of the school and enjoyed looking at all the other fantastic World Book Day doors.

We used plasticine to create these beautiful Selkies. 

Selkies were said to be seals that could shed their skins and become human.

This block we are finding out about school long ago. We talked about what we would like to find out.

We have been sharing stories about Scottish mythical creatures. Kelpies were water horses that could change their shape. We drew them and wrote descriptions to match our drawings. We used our ideas to write two part stories about a Kelpie Adventure.

Last block Primary 2 enjoyed finding out about the Moon and the first Moon Landing. Here is a sample of some of their learning activities.

We have been studying Charles Rennie Mackintosh high backed chair designs. You can still sit on his chairs in the Willow Tea Rooms in Glasgow. We learned about perspective when we made our chairs look 3D.

What an amazing dress rehearsal ! Good luck for the shows today and tomorrow.

Thank you to Mrs. Ryalls, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Ward for creating the show stopping costumes and corridor display.
