P2M Jupiter Artland

P2M visited Jupiter Artland last week and we really enjoyed our learning. We learned about the stories behind many of the sculptures and we had opportunities to be very creative, especially when we made our own aliens. This was a fantastic way to start our new topic “The Enchanted Woodland.”

Article 13: We have the right to find out things and share what we think with others.

Article 29: We have the right to develop our talents and abilities.

This was when we danced like the white building. We made up our own dances to  match all the patterns. We thought one side looked like a house and the other side looked like a castle.

This was a huge sculpture that some of us thought was a huge basketball net. We used our learning in Science to talk about which material we thought was used to make the sculpture.

It was so much fun walking up to the top of the grass hills. We could see the “Love Bomb” from the top which we found very exciting. Then we carefully walked back down while Miss Marra took a photo of the beautiful view.  We learned that the gardeners have to work very hard to cut the grass and keep this area neat. We think they do an amazing job.

It was very exciting using our imagination to talk about what we thought could be at the bottom of the hole in this sculpture. Hollie Mc thought the hole might take her to see her family in Australia. It was interesting to hear all our different ideas and we would like to explore this further in class.

Super Writers in P3R

We have had  a successful start to the new term in P3R with some super writing!

This week we were listening to Chapter 1 in the story of ‘The Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes.

We have been writing about what we think would happen next in the story.

We used our target checklist to peer assess our partner’s work and gave them positive feedback.

We also have been thinking about our next steps in writing for this term. Some of us are working on spelling, punctuation or vocabulary.

We can’t wait to find out what happens next in the story.

 

P7 Residential Experience at Lockerbie Manor

LOCKERBIE MANOR

Our P7 pupils visited Lockerbie Manor last month for a week of outdoor activities and new experiences. The weather was rather challenging for them and in true Scottish style they experienced wind, rain, hail and sun all in one week! The pupils showed determination and perseverance with the activities and the Lockerbie Manor staff commended them on their good behaviour and positive attitude. Here are some more pictures taken by Mrs Aitken when she visited them at camp.
