Fun Friday- Let’s get creative!
Today we started off creating our Trusted adult display. Everyone participated in super discussion about who our trusted adults could be and why we need to have these responsible adults at home and in school.
In creativity hour today we had a really special visit from Jen at Voice Rocks. We played fun singing games to start off then we learned a new song to develop musical ear and general music skills. This was a fabulous music experience for everyone. Jen has music classes on a Saturday morning in Bathgate partnership centre. Information leaflets will go out soon with all of these details if any pupils are keen to join these music classes.

In Regina’s Art club they visited Mexico and made art mirrors. These bright and colourful creations bring good luck to your house.
Building Thinking Classrooms
Freeze frame literacy
After reading our third chapter of the watchers, we decided to create action shots of this dramatic part of the book. Rather than drawing them or writing them down, we created three main pictures in our head ready perform to our group.
Creativity Friday
Artist- Dorothea Tanning
To explore form and surreal sculpture
We explored a new artist today for creativity hour. Our challenge was to create an everyday object which has human or animal type features. We used newspapers to do this today but lots of materials could be used for this activity. Lots of superb ideas and fun!
