What a fantastic Saturday morning at M&S with our school choir! The store manager, Nick, said we should go down everyday until Christmas! He said that the customers and staff loved hearing and we had everybody in the store dancing about. Nicola and Georgia spoke to him and Carolyn at the end to thank them for having us and for more yummy snacks.
Thank you also to Mrs Burgon, Mrs Seawright, and Miss Bethell for coming along to support us! We also want the thank all the pupils, parents and siblings for giving up their Saturday morning – Keeva and Demi-Leigh were great singers too!
Primary 6 have been learning about the rights of refugees in the UK. We looked at the difference between refugees and migrants, and used our knowledge of civil rights to discuss how individuals or groups of people may be made to leave their home due to persecution based on their gender, religion or personal beliefs etc.
We then discussed the British Laws regarding refugees and looked at the information UNICEF have provided schools about the issues with keeping families together. UNICEF have suggested that school pupils use their voices to tell the Government what we think about the Law in our country. With this is mind we created campaign posters which we will send on to the Home Secretary. Part of their job is to look after refugees who come to the UK and we hope our posters will help to persuade them to allow families of refugees to be able to live together.

Wow what a week! We were given a design challenge to create stain-glass window style art using the stencils that Bernie had ready for us. We could figure out they were letters but were not sure what we were going to spell…. after a lot of hard work (and mess!) we all peeled back the tape to find we had the letters to spell B O G H A L L. We carefully carried these outside and tied them to the fence, then stood back to look at what we had created! Thanks again Bernie, Fran, Patrick and Chris!
Week 2 with Patrick, Chris, Fran and Bernie was excellent!
We looked at pictures of Street Art and discussed why some people call it Street Art while others say it is Graffiti – very interesting ideas and opinions! Bernie showed us some of his art that he creates using stencils which was very intricate and complicated to create. He also took us outside for a demonstration of how you layer the different stencils and colours to create an image – the picture he created he gifted to our class which is amazing! Next we created our own alphabet stencils and had fun experimenting with colour and shape as we layered our stencils on our own master pieces. Lastly we collaborated on a large class stencil which we will finish next week…. What a busy and fun filled day!
Primary 6 were lucky enough to be chosen to help Chris and Patrick with the design and creation of the our new church memorial garden – we don’t want to give away any secrets but we had such a fun morning screen printing with Patrick, Bernie, Fran and Chris that we had to share some of our photos! We will keep you updated with our progress each week!
