Christmas has arrived in P7/6 and we have based a lot of learning this week around the Christmas theme.
We started off the week by decorating our classroom door,
Jessica said – “we all decorated a bauble with our names and this was added to the display”.
We also started a wintry landscape picture. We used Thomas Kinkade’s work to inspire us. We discussed how to achieved depth in a picture by using darker/deeper/brighter colours in the forefront of the picture and paler/lighter/muted colours for our background. These will be completed next week.
Our writing this week was based on a Christmas story. We used a “Story Mountain” to help us plan our work.
We watched the advert Mog’s Christmas Calamity” film clip to help inspire us to add good description and action to our work. When we watched the clip we used the story mountain planning idea to track the action of the film, we discovered that this clip had two mountain peaks. Have a go and watch the clip to find the two peaks.

Maths did not escape the Christmas theme either. We were working on symmetry and using two lines of symmetry. One of our tasks was to complete a Christmas cracker design where we were only given one quarter of the picture and using two lines of symmetry we had to complete the cracker. Great fun and super learning!
Well done P7/6. Have a lovely weekend.
