This week we created a piece of Christmas artwork to be displayed outside Miss Finlayson’s office.

Miss Walkingshaw’s challenged us to re-create the ‘Grinch Pinch’ from her favourite movie – The Grinch. We focused on texture, colour and detail when creating our pieces of artwork. We also ran a separate competition which was to design the best Grinch.

Today Primary 3/2 really enjoyed getting to tune into Author’s Live with Benji Davies. We got to watch and listen to him reading us his book ‘The Great Storm Whale’. Benji Davies also showed us how to draw some characters and scenes from his book. Here are some examples of our drawings. 

Today, we looked at the E (Engineering) element of STEAM in our Pupil Voice Group. We designed rollercoasters and used only Lego or paper to build our designs. We even had a go at making some carts to move along the track. Excellent Engineering! 

Primary 3/2 have been working hard since the start of term 2 in October. Here are some pictures of our new corridor displays showing off all our hard work. We have started our rainforest topic and have been exploring where rainforests are in the world as well as learning about the 3 main climate zones.

In literacy our focus has been on narrative writing and we have written some fantastic stories.
We have also been learning about Diwali the Hindu festival of light and have created our own Rangoli patterns.

In maths we have started to explore time and have been enjoying some active learning to help us with this tricky concept!

To celebrate World Kindness & Anti Bullying Week, Primary 5 thought about what they could do to help someone who is feeling bullied. We created a class caring chain out of our ideas.
