P2/3 Easter Assembly
Rhuairidh – Easter is a very nice time because there are lots of new flowers and new animals. All the flowers are bright.
James – We love seeing new things being born and growing up. We like seeing calves and especially lambs.
Cara – We have been learning how to draw and paint Easter-time flowers and we love seeing loads of flowers coming out.
Annalise – We like planting flowers at spring because we really like the petals when they bloom and the colours.
Daisy D – We love to celebrate the new life at spring-time.

We loved learning about the artist Elizabeth Blackadder and the Easter story. Some girls loved learning new words for yellow – pineapple, butterscotch and a lovely shade called daffodil! We did a lot of colour mixing to get the right shades for our terracotta pots of dwarf narcissi.

We hope you can come and see us at the church on Thursday afternoon. Daisy F says you can look up the yellow words on Google.

Build-a-Bike Art Sculptures P2 and 3

P2/3 have started their design product challenge as part of STEM term. We will be looking at the stages in the design process – from recognising a need, developing a design brief, creating a design and product and then evaluating it – phew!

To start us off we are looking at bicycle wheel through Art – looking at spokes, tyres and their circular shape. We made 3-D wheel tiles using rolling, cutting, imprinting and next time we will look at decorative techniques in claywork. Not quite the Great Pottery throwdown but nearly – catch it on BBC2.

We will be looking at bike accessories and trying to make some of these following the design process. Take a close look at bikes around you.
