At Coding club over the last two weeks we have been developing our knowledge and skills through the use of code.org and Scratch. We have coded our own game of Flappy Bird, achieved certificates for our hours of code and animated our names using code.
This afternoon was our very first coding club.
We started our introduction to coding by learning how to code our beebots. We then used the kapla blocks to build a track/maze and coded our beebots to travel through it.
Our P7 Girls Cross Country Team travelled to Deans HS to take part in the WL Championships.
The day was very wet and muddy, but our team wouldn’t let the weather beat them!
Well done girls, we are very proud of you!
Halloween has featured a lot in our learning in P4/5 over the last week! One of our favourite experiences was experimenting with static electricity to make our spooky ghosts fly!
Our after school clubs are back up and running at Toronto!
Today we had both Multi Sports and Bikeability clubs. Our pupils are really enjoying learning new skills!
P5 have been preparing for their Joseph performance and have been linking this to other areas of our learning.
In the story Joseph is given a coat of many colours, so in Science we tested out an experiment with colours.
Did you know, in 1935 John Ridly Stroop invented the ‘Stroop task’? This was all about naming colours. First a number of colours were projected onto a screen in their own colour, and then in a different colour. People were asked to name the colours the words were printed in.
We timed each other reading both sets of words and found that our brains work slower when the colour you have to name has been used to print the name of a different colour!
How quickly can you read them?
P2/3 have been exploring the works of different artists. This week we looked at Piet Mondrian. Did you know Mondrian began as an artist by painting realistic landscapes?!
He then changed how he painted – he didn’t want his pictures to look like nature, he wanted to explore how colour and line worked together.
P2/3 had a go at creating their own pieces of simple Mondrian art using only a few colours.
In P7 this week we designed a poster that will be used to promote our upcoming performances of Joseph and the Technicoloured Dream Coat. We considered what information was required, how we would ensure we had an eye-catching layout and included photographs that grabbed the reader’s attention. If you’re lucky enough to be attending, see how many of the posters you can spot around school!
