Class 5 and famous European artists

Class 5 had a busy week for Europe week, we decided to look at famous European artists and create some of our own masterpieces.  We created some colourful block paintings similar to the German artist Paul Klee.  We used Georges Seurat from France as our inspiration for some pointillism art work.  Of course the Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh provided us with some great ideas to create out own ‘Starry Night’ paintings.  Mr Hunter also helped the class to learn about the Italian artist Michelagelo Caravaggio and created  their own fruit designs. 

Oak Class learn about Holland

Oak class are were learning the ‘h’ sound today so we thought we would learn about a country beginning with that sound – Holland.

We made some lovely spinning windmills having researched Kinderdjik.

We also made Dutch flags and tasted Stroopwafels.

The pupils also painted colourful tulips.

We also listened to the song ‘A mouse lived in a windmill in Old Amsterdam’

P3 Clap for Heroes Thursday 23rd April 2020

Good Morning – It’s Clap for our Heroes Thursday!

It’s been great to hear from so many Primary 3  children this week you really are a fantastic bunch who continue to make me proud.

Thursday at 8 o’clock is the when everyone ‘Claps for our Heroes’. Have you been taking part? Last week I was banging a metal tray with a wooden spoon to try and make as much noise as possible so that all our local Heroes could hear me.  There are so many people who go out of their homes every day to help keep us healthy and safe. From nurses who help us hospitals to the bin men who come round every week to collect our household waste – we should thank them all.

 

Please keep taking pictures and email them to me  wldedridge-ps@westlothian.org.uk.

 

 

On the SUMDOG site I have created a spelling competition focused around previous learning in your Spelling Groups.  The Competition doesn’t end until the 30th April and there will be a prize for each group, so good luck!

 

Here are today’s challenges.

P3 – Wednesday 22nd April

Good Morning Children, I am a high 5!!!!

I heard from lots of Primary 3  children yesterday. Some contacted me through email or via the blog comments while others I could see were busy on Sumdog.

 

Some lovely stone painting has been going on and I imagine that many of you are able to put them in your garden or display them in your house. This picture put a big smile on my face!

I was told how Miss D had lots of fun climbing trees!! Well what a coincidence as I was doing the same thing at the weekend.
