Sharing Our Learning
P7/6 have been learning about the Pop Art Style. We made links to our learning in literacy about Scots Language and the icon, Oor Wulllie and created some recreations of familiar pop art, with a Scots twist. We also added some of our favourite Scots words in the pop art style. It’s awfy braw!
Today we collaborated in our house groups and discussed key themes that relate to ‘How Good is Our School’. We discussed each statement and grouped them into what is working well in our school and areas for development. We then discussed how we could improve the areas for development.
P3/2 have been learning about the Antarctica and Arctic Animals.
We linked our learning to the Global Goals ‘Life on Land’ and ‘Life below Water’. We learned about its unique climate, the animals that live there and how their special adaptations help them survive in such conditions. We used a variety of different materials and textures to create polar bears. We then applied our knowledge of information report writing and created information reports all about polar bears.
This week in P6/5 we began our new block of Interest Stations. We used our critical thinking and creativity skills to create different animals and characters.
One group practiced their fondant modelling skills, whilst another practiced using their hands and tools to create models using air dry clay.
We can’t wait to improve these skills next week!
Happy New Year! P2/1 have settled in very quickly to this new term and got straight back to their learning and play. Children spent time this week creating lovely artworks of their families and homes. They combined a variety of different art techniques including oil pastels, watercolours, collage and coloured pencil. Children thought carefully about the shape and style of walls, windows and doors to best represent their home, and produced artwork that really demonstrates just how unique and special the children’s homes and families are in real life!
