P6B have had a short but very colourful week!

Over the last month, we have been learning about the culture and heritage of Scotland and the geography of the land. What we have been learning has helped inspire our art work this week.

Firstly, we used pencils to sketch a Scottish landscape consisting of mountains and lochs. We then used oil pastels to add detail and colour. We had to choose our colours carefully and consider the effect we wished to create. The end results were very good and an example of how much effort we gave to the activity. We have really showcased our artistic talents and should feel proud of ourselves!

Noah: I liked the detail. This is the best artwork I have ever done. 

Casey: I took my time and I’m really pleased with my drawing. It’s the best picture I’ve made using oil pastels.

Luca: I particularly liked the effect of shading my drawing to make it lighter or darker. 

Further enhancing our attention to detail, we studied the ‘Coat of Arms’ of Scotland. We learned all about the meaning of the different parts of it and this helped draw our attention to the many different elements it contains. We also explored the purpose of a coat of arms and when it might be displayed. We were tasked with using our very finest drawing skills to recreate the Coat of Arms of Scotland in all its detail and colour. Through taking our time and focussing well, we created fantastic replicas. Take a little look!

Skye: I was impressed with mine. It actually looks really good. 

Fiona: The collar on the unicorns neck shows symbolises that Scotland is tied to the union. 

Class Assembly Reminder

As you may be aware, our P6B assembly will take place on Friday 24^th February at 9.15am in the main hall. Please, if possible, may I ask the pupils to wear an item of tartan or any other ‘Scottish’ wear that the children may have at home?

We hope you can make it along and look forward to seeing you then!

Mrs Murdoch & P6B
