Following on from the visit to the “Natural Selection” exhibition at the old AHS, performance artist Gordon Douglas came to visit the school last Thursday to lead workshops with P4 – S2.
Primary pupils listened to some poetry and created their own poems by cutting out words from existing poems.
As part of the same Art project, artist Jono Sandilands will be visiting after the Easter break and using some kind of sound carrying paint, which sounds very interesting!
The P4’s are reading Making Past into Presents and as part of their reading homework they had to follow the instructions for one of the Egyptian artefacts and bring it in. Well done Reuben and Flora for making a super pyramid and lovely necklace.
As part of Pick n Mix homework, Ella made this lovely puppet of Cleopatra.
Our school have been raising money for Red Nose Day by wearing something red and buying a Red Nose for £2.
We have been learning about Farhad and his life. He was born in Afghanistan but moved to Iran because there was a war and it was not safe. A man smuggled him and his family to Serbia and he had to throw his bag into the sea because it was going to sink.
Farhad is living in a refugee camp with is family and money from Red Nose Day is helping him and others to have a better life.
Here we are with our red clothes and noses.
Primary 4/5 took part in the Wee Sleep Out Sumdog challenge with another 871 classes from around Scotland. They finished 18th and Murry came 31st out of 19,115 pupils which is a fantastic achievement!
Primary 4/5 will be in separate concerts this year with P3 and P4 working together and the P5 joining P6/7. So far have had 2 weeks of practice with Izzy Swanson and we will be getting scripts and songs to learn soon!
Only 5 weeks until the big performance!
Miss Irvine set us a STEM challenge in small groups to build the tallest tower using only marshmallows and spaghetti. It was really good fun but the marshmallows were very tempting to eat!
