A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
This week in Primary 3 we have complete an expressive arts activity where we recreated Edinburgh Castle as part of our class topic. We completed a drawing activity where we drew the castle step by step. We then painted the scenery in the background using a picture from the smartboard for guidance.
We continued working on our knowledge of time – using o’clock, half past and quarter past. We worked in pairs to draw clocks to represent different times given from our partner.
Over the past two weeks we have been learning Italian courtesy of Anastasia. She has been teaching us how to say basic greetings, months of the year and colours. We have loved getting to share our passion for languages as a class.
We have been learning about different types of angles this week. Miss Walkingshaw taught us about the different types of angles and how to use a protractor correctly to work them out. We also searched for angles within the classroom environment and symmetry using mirrors.
Miss Walkingshaw set us a challenge to re-create a scene from the movie, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. We used oil pastels and different shading techniques to create the ‘Grinch Pinch’.
Have a lovely weekend!
This week we completed various activities relating to Remembrance Day.
The whole school took part in a one minute silence, which provided an opportunity to reflect and remember all those who fought for our country. To remember the soldiers who have died in the wars both past and present.
We were set a challenge to create a piece of artwork that would convey a message about this important day in history. We used pupil choice to select one of the following options, which focused on using a range of different art techniques:
P3 have had lots of fun doing expressive arts this week.
For dance, we had a taster session from Danceworld. We all had to stay on our spots and do the moves we learned at the same time.
For drama, we have started rehearsals for our class assembly. We have been learning about scripts, cues and stage directions.
For music, we have been practising singing our songs for the class assembly.
We used our literacy skills to write invitations for our class assembly and brought them home. Please check school bags if you haven’t received your invitation yet. The assembly will be on Friday 24th November. Please arrive at 9am for a 9.15am start.
