Art Lesson
In Art p6 have been learning about the process of design.
Pupils were given with the tasks of designing a character pot, which had to have an open mouth; the rest was up to them!
During the first lesson, pupils were introduced to the idea of mind maps to generate different ideas and think through the various options for their pot. The next job was to choose their best idea, draw it out, in detail and think about the colours.
The following week we spent sculpting the pots. Pupils learnt how shape clay and join it using the scratching and smudging technique.
The final step was to paint our pots, we spent 2 weeks doing this to ensure the colours were bright and the pots were neatly finished.
The results were fantastic, excellent use of the visual elements p6, well done!

Week 4 Gymnastics
We had a few changes to the equipment this week. The wide box was a section higher, the narrow beam came after the wider benches and at the frame, the ropes were out. When discussing the equipment set up, we spoke about changes of height, direction and width.
Here we are in action.

We have been busy in the gym doing gymnastics. We started on the mats developing our floor skills, focusing mainly on rolls, handstands and cartwheels and our flexibility. We have had one week of the equipment, where we explored all the different stations.

Constructing 3D Objects
We were learning to make skeletons of 3D objects using different construction materials. Constructing skeletons of 3D objects helps us to understand their properties. We used our critical thinking, collaborating and communicating meta-skills.

Glasgow Science Centre
Castles Rock Science Show
We really enjoyed a visit from the Glasgow Science Centre. They firstly presented a science show where they made us think about technology and history. We found out about pulleys, stone arches and how grass, mud and moss were used to protect walls of castles.
Castles CSI Workshop
Then our class participated in a crime scene workshop where they had to collaborate with their class mates to solve the mystery of skeletons found in Stirling Castle. From the bones the pupils discovered what their job might have been and also where they came from! Great fun!
