Today we had some VIPs visit Woodmuir. Our new P1s joined us on a Bear Hunt and they weren’t scared. We are very excited that they will join us in August.
We Went on a Bear Hunt
National Galleries of Scotland Art Lesson
Today we participated in another live art lesson from fabulous experts Lorna and Liz. The focus was on artist Wendy McMurdo and exploring the theme of story and imaginary worlds. We studied photographs with missing pieces and had to guess what we thought was in the original photograph. Lots of super discussion and collaboration with our peers. In the end we created our own personal avatars and started to think about our imaginary worlds.
West Lothian advice shop
Today we were very lucky to have the advice shop in to visit our school.
Curriculum cafe
Yesterday we held our final curriculum cafe of the term on the topic of differentiation. The children led this presentation and planned their own activities to share their learning with their grown ups. The children communicated clearly and worked together in small groups. It was fabulous to see lots of parents and family members attend this cafe and participate in all the tasks.
Art Club highlights
Today we looked at the sculptor Andy Scott. We used air dried clay to make our own creations.
Values and Issues
Today we discussed values, issues, morals, dilemmas, parables, miracles and the Beatitudes. Then we shared our learning through drama, to show the value of kindness in differentiated scenarios.
HWB Club
Today we had a short HWB session where we talked more about our feelings before playing a game.
Differentiation curriculum cafe
Today we continued on with our curriculum cafe preparation for next week. We were working together collaboratively, discussing how we would create our information boards and time to be creative.
PBL
Today we spent the afternoon recording in our golden books ready to show our learning to our grown ups next week.
Art Club
Today we learnt about Salvador Dali. We took our art outside and recreated his long legged creatures in the sunshine.
