Global Goals

Leave a comment

The eco committee have been learning about the United Nations  Global Goals. They have created presentations to tell the younger children what they have been learning.

P4 and 5 created a rap to tell us about the United Nations and how there are 17 global goals.

The eco committee looked through all these goals and chose ‘Life Below Water’ to focus on this year.

Primary 6 created a presentation about this to tell us more. They explained what sea pollution is and how this affects animals that live underwater. They told us that we should always put our rubbish in the bin and gave us ideas of who we could speak to to learn more.

Rangoli Patterns

Rangoli Patterns

As part of our Hinduism topic, P1-7 have been learning about Rangoli patterns.

A Rangoli pattern is a colourful pattern used during the Hindu festival of Diwali. They are drawn at the entrance to welcome the goddess of wealth, Lakshmi, into Hindu’s homes in the hope she will bring them good luck.

Rangoli patterns are made up from lots of 2D different shapes. They are often symmetrical and take ideas from nature: peacocks, swans, flowers, etc.

Traditionally Rangoli patterns are made using coloured rice, grains, flour, sand or chalk.

Primary 1-3 used coloured salt to symmetrically colour some well known Rangoli patterns.

Primary 4-7 designed their own Rangoli patterns and coloured them using traditional coloured grains.

P4-7 art

 Primary 4-7 have been learning about Vincent Van Gough and impressionism in Art.

Van Gough was born in the Netherlands in 1853 but sadly died at the age of 37 in 1890. He is what we call a Post-Impressionist painter.

Impressionism is a French movement, developed from an association at the end of the 19th century. The paintings made by the impressionists are generally small, with visible paintbrush strokes.

We had a go at an impressionist painting in the manner of Vincent Van Gough. We took two of his paintings as inspiration: Starry Night and Sunflowers.

On a Wednesday morning the P4-7s have eco time – everyone  in primary 4 to 7 are in the Eco Committee. We have been researching different topics about transport and sustaining our world: How transport has changed over time, ferries, fair trade,  food journeys, air pollution and wind turbines. We are putting all the information we have found into a PowerPoint/poster and will present these to the rest of the school. We are going on to learn about climate change now.
