In Art p6 have been learning about the French Artist Claude Monet and have used chalks to recreate his impressionist style.
We started by mixing and blending the chalk to achieve different colours and tones. We then layered on top of that with more chalk, trying to add different marks to create the impression of detail.
The class have worked very hard and has resulted in lots of beautiful pictures, well done p6!!
We will now be moving on to do a similar thing, but this time using paint.

The Knab Redevelopment Group visited us to do a special assembly about their housebuilding project at the Knab.
Last year this group had a competition where pupils had to design their ideal house. The winners and runner ups in the competition got prizes today. Every pupil who participated also got a goody bag. It was great to also see all the great designs together on banners.

Each pairing worked well together and had fun!

Johnnie Notions
Mari from the museum visited our class to tell us a little about Johnnie Notions. He was a self taught physician from Shetland. He independently developed and administered an inoculation for smallpox to thousands of patients in Shetland during the late 18th century. Despite having only an elementary education and no formal medical background, the treatment he devised had a high success rate.
Smallpox and other Viruses
Mari showed us a short video and explained how a virus can spread. We thought about Covid and how we took precautions to keep safe then.
The Spreading of Germs
Using special UV handcream pupils discovered how quickly and easily germs can be spread from one person to another.
The class really enjoyed finding out about this very important person in Shetland’s history.

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!

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.
