Can you look again at the 3 pieces of art discussed in class? Google The Sled by Joseph Beuys, Rocky Mountains and Tired Indians by David Hockney and An Eye on the Street by David Peat.

Can you guess what the picture is trying to represent? Can you find out any info about the artist?

Hope you all enjoyed the lesson today on what it takes to be an astronaut. Here are a few links for you to look at. They may be useful for the surprise task and you may wish to take additional notes on them.

Today we read our stories to P2. I think they all enjoyed it judging by their reaction in the playground.

As part of National Storytelling Week we have been creating stories for the infant department. Today some of us read to P1. The effort was spectacular and the wee ones seemed to enjoy it. Well done!

The P7s have been visiting the mobile military museum. Looked very interesting. Please comment with your thoughts below.

Spelling – revise all words to date. Look under the tab spelling words and you will see them all there. Also on spellingcity you can play some games to help.

Reading – you should be trying to read at home every night. Try extra hard this week!!!! Remember reading passports.

Growth Mindset – on your e-profile write about a time when something didn’t go to plan and what you would do differently next time.

E-profile – some are more up-to-date than others. Look at yours and see how to improve.
