We used lollipop sticks to make 2D shapes. We made squares, rectangles, triangles, diamonds, pentagons and hexagons. We discovered that we couldn’t make circles because the lollipop sticks are straight and circles only have curved lines.

5 Shetland Schools – The Art World @ Bonhoga
Today, primaries 1 and 6 went to see the exhibition at Bonhoga. They saw all the work that they had done with Mrs Hunter and Amy Gear in Art. They also saw work done by children from other schools in Shetland.
We asked the primary 1 what their favourite things were. They said “busy bogies”, “the firework”, “outside in the long grass among the sculptures” and “finding pencils upstairs”

All kinds of bears in Primary 1
This week in Primary 1, we are thinking about all kinds of bears. We have lots of teddy bears in our toy shop, busy dressing bears in all sorts of clothes, making polar and teddy bears in craft activities, polar bears in our icy water and lots of other bear related activities.
On Tuesday, we were really lucky to have a visit from Wendy Inkster who makes Burra Bears. She told us what she uses to make the bears, how she makes them and brought a lot of different Burra Bears to show us.
There was lots of discussion and questions and we loved Wendy’s visit to Primary 1.![IMG_0362[1]](https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/sh/public/AithPrimaryDepartment/uploads/sites/1235/2016/03/IMG_03621.jpg)

We made paper plate puppets on Thursday. We gave them names and had fun on Friday introducing our puppets to everyone else in the class.
Primary 1 starts term 2
We’ve had a busy week back at school after the holidays. We learned all about Naughty 9 and our new letter ‘h.’ We all designed and painted our own Minion and have been thinking about our new topic for this term which is ‘Light.’ We have chosen to turn the huge box we got into a lighthouse for us to play in, in the classroom.
