On 10th February, Miss Clark had her final day of her 5 week practice with the P6/7 class. She did a super Viking project with them and everyone has written a super Viking saga and helped to make this lovely class display

Lighthouses
This week we have been making lighthouses so that Santa can find his way to Shetland! We used circuits with switches and bulbs. The children made some detailed models. They looked fantastic.
Cards for French penpals
Today we finished our cards and letters for our French penpals. They are in for a treat and looked absolutely fantastic. We also made origami santas to put in the cards.

Clarence the Climate Clatterer
Neil Bratchpeice, Sarah-Jayne Judge and Alba Abad Fernandez came into school this afternoon to run a comic book session. Neil and Sarah-Jayne explained some of the features of developing a character and the children gave Neil their ideas for our very own class character. It was amazing to see what Neil created for us. We also had a chance to draw a cartoon of our own, which we will finish next week.
Christmas crafts
Primary 7 have been making some beautiful Christmas cards this year. We used pastels to draw a Christmas tree through a snowy window, and watercolours to paint a robin. They looked really lovely.
Our Pneumatic Models
This afternoon we finished off our models and what a great job everyone has done. Lots of imagination has gone into all the different designs .
Well done P7s.
Make £5 Grow
The Primary 7s worked really hard during the last two terms on the Virgin Make £5 Grow enterprise project. They raised money for their school trip and staycation and will be selling more at a future date. Altogether so far, they have raised a fantastic £ 543.90!
We posted the amount on our FB page a few weeks ago.
Pneumatics 2
Great progress is being made on our models. Everyone is busy this afternoon painting and decorating them. I can’t wait to see what they end up looking like!
Rockets
On Tuesday 17th September, two scientists from the Edinburgh Observatory came to talk to us about space and rockets. They showed us part of one of the Skylark rockets that had been designed in Edinburgh 50 years ago and had been sent into space to take UV images.
We then had an opportunity to make our own rockets. These were launched in the multi-court and some fired right out of the multi-court!
Staycation- Getting Creative
On the 12th of June, Lauryn Bertie and Zara drew some pictures and the library windows. They printed off some pictures and stuck them on the outside of the windows. Then they traced the pictures with chalk pens and coloured some of them in. The finished pictures were amazing and they also had lots of fun with it.
I’m really happy with how it looks and I also had a great time. -Lauryn
I thought that doing Art like that is really fun, and other people should try it as well. Bertie
