Big well done from Mrs Monahan, you all represented your school so proudly. You all had great team spirit and played excellently. I was so nervous for you all and loved cheering you on. I was very impressed they way you spoke to the other teams and were making new friends.

 

 

 

P5/4 news

We have been busy learning all about an artist called Yvonne Coomber this week, this is her painting called Dancing Hearts

.Yvonne Coomber Art  Dancing Hearts

We spent time looking at her work and discussing the different feelings we could see in the paintings. Then we created our own unique pictures. We used a variety of colours of paint and paint of different textures. First we chose the backdrop colours and blended the paints. then we created the green stems and finally the flowers. We hope you like them. They will be displayed in school for a while before they can go home.

P5/4 news

This week we have been enjoying learning about Robert Burns. For our Burns assembly we have been learning to sing the beautiful song ‘My love is like a red, red rose’ the lyrics are below if you would like to have a sing along.

In art this week we have painted pictures of the red rose by learning about the artistic style of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

The boys and girls have really enjoyed music this week with Mrs Malloch and are looking forward to next week.

Library Van – Andrew visited us this week in class, P5/4 will be going to the library van every second Thursday. Have fun reading at home.

Oh, my love is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June
Oh, my love is like a melody
That’s sweetly played in tune
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry.
Till all the seas gang dry, my dear,

‘Til all the seas gang dry my, my dear
And the rocks melt with the sun
And I will love thee still, my dear
While the sands of life shall run
But faretheewell, my only love
Oh, faretheewell a while
And I will come again, my love
Tho’ ‘t were ten thousand mile
Tho’ ‘t were ten thousand mile, my love
Tho’ ‘t were ten thousand mile
And I will come again, my love
Tho’ ‘t were ten thousand mile.

Choir days out

The Choir have been out and about raising money. We visited Harthill Senior Citizen Centre last Thursday where we spread some Christmas cheer. We would like to thank them for their generous donation and presents for the children. Yesterday, we made our annual visit to Tesco. We received a warm reception and would like to thank Tesco once again for supporting the school. We would also like to thank all the friends and family who came along to support the children.

You will need a dice and some paper and pens, remember you have to roll in order, so you can not start the drawing unless you roll a 1, next you are looking to roll a 2 and then a 3, 4, 5 and finally a 6.
