This morning, The Fantastics took their learning outdoors.

We had a discussion about what natural materials the children might find, including sticks, pebbles, feathers and leaves.

The children chose a leader for each team and decided what pictures they were going to make. There was lots of discussion about sticks being longer and shorter or equal, what could be symmetrical in the pictures, and the feeling of the different materials like moss (light), stones (smooth) and tree bark (rough).

Both of the groups made wonderful house pictures. They added details like a road with a car on it, and a rabbit in the garden!

Well done everyone. One of the groups said that their leader had told them exactly what to do and that made them work better!

Here we are being creative.

Primary 2 are very excited about their African art and can’t wait to show all the parents on Friday.  Here is a sneak peek!

Primary 6 did a fantastic job planning and organising their fundraiser.  They decided to hold a cake stall, run a sweetie tombola, hold a drawing competition for P1-3 and P4-7 and also have a ‘Guess the amount of sweets in the jar’ competition.

They all worked exceptionally hard and Mrs Hare and I are so proud of them all.

They would like to thank all the kind parents/carers and staff who contributed to the cake stall, all the pupils who participated in the dress down day and donated a chocolate bar/bag of sweets and most importantly to everyone who came along and supported all their enterprise events.  THANK YOU.

In total, they successfully raised £456.36!

P1-3 drawing competition winner: Florence P3G

P4-7 drawing competition winner: Ava P7

Guess the sweets in the jar winner: Lee P5/6 who corrected guessed 187 sweets in the jar

P6 enjoyed participating in an African Dance Workshop as part of their Africa topic.  They enjoyed learning different moves and then combining these together with costume, props and music.  Thank you to Mrs Creaney for organising this.

P6 have thoroughly enjoyed bringing back a previous initiative introduced by Mrs Sinclair.  Mrs Gordon invited our class to join her class and spend time reading together.  Both sets of pupils get to enjoy reading to each other from a selection of books (fiction and non-fiction) and love their weekly visit.
