Today we got in to the Christmas spirit by creating our individual wreaths for our Christmas Fayre day on Friday. We can’t wait to show these off to our grown ups. Lots of creativity, communication and collaboration skills.

Claude Monet – creativity hour
Today we started our research on Famous French artists. We found out about his Early life, Impressionism, famous paintings and his later life. This involved lots of practice in our literacy skills and skills for life. After our research session we will begin to re- create one or two of his most famous paintings using different materials.

Eiffel Tower Art
Today we challenged ourselves to draw the Eiffel Tower as part of our creativity project. We were practicing using line as outline, drawing shapes and bold lines using our rulers. At the end we used Eiffel Tower grey to colour our drawings in and we added in a few clouds to the sky. The end results are fantastic and we are all very proud of our finished art pieces.
RSNO concert
Scotland’s National Orchestra
This afternoon P5-P7 were very lucky to receive free tickets to go and watch the RSNO “Sounds of the Deep” production in Paisley Town Hall. It was a fabulous musical and artistic experience to watch and the sound story was incredible too.

The Rebel of Time by Craig Andrew Mooney
Today we were lucky enough to host Craig Andrew Mooney, the author behind ‘The Rebel of Time’. It was a great experience to ask Craig our questions and hear a little extract of the book from the person behind the words.
Craig shared with us his inspiration behind the main characters and shared a fascinating insight in to the writing process. Everyone was captivated and participated in hands on writing exercise guided by Craig. Pupils had the chance to experiment with writing and illustrating in pairs, exploring their own creative ideas.
This is a great way to kick off our literacy book study and plant the seed of aspiring authorship in our pupils.
Exploring Nature Through Burns Poetry
We have been exploring the poetry of Robert Burns over the last two weeks. After many discussions and learning our favourite poems we went outdoors today to observe the nature in our playground and take some time out to reflect, on how Burns drew inspiration from nature. We will then use our own observations to create our own poems and focus on simplicity, structure and descriptive language.
