Thistle 2023/24

We have had a fantastic first few weeks getting to know each other in our new clan, creating our clan charter using the UNCRC Rights of a child, learning about the Emotion Works Cogs, doing some monster chalk drawing as part of our outdoor learning and playing thinking and strategy games & building Kapla towers to get our brains engaged and ready to go after a long summer holiday.

 

 

 

Welcome to Thistle Clan, we’re going to SMASH Primary 6 together.

‘River’ a new public artwork by Svetlana Kondakova Muir

The Bens participated in an art project in 2021, where they were involved with a local artist who was creating a new sculpture for the Almondell Cemetery at East Calder.

Pupils researched natural shapes and created silhouettes of leaves, water shapes and flowers to create a template for the metal structure. The final sculpture has been erected and locals are being invited to attend the grand reveal.

 

The unveiling will take place on site at the artwork located
within Almondell Cemetery on:
Thursday, 7 September, from 5:30 – 6:30pm

 

There will be a few words on site to share more about the process of
developing the project on behalf of the community, we would be pleased if
you could join us.
