We have been very successfully growing sunflowers in our classroom this term. Already they are stretching high and reaching for all the sun we’ve had! Furthermore, we learned a bit about Vincent Van Gogh and recreated one of his most famous paintings ‘Sunflowers.’
Here are some examples of the wonderful sunflowers we painted and some very proud faces 😊
P4a, P4b and P5 have been taking part in online art sessions with the City Art Centre.
They entered their pictures into a May contest and lots of them did very well.
Many made the shortlist and Natalia received a gold award!
Have a look below to hear more about our art stars.

Before the February break Mr Bennett posted some holiday fun ideas.
One of these was that if it snowed we would accept pictures of the snow taken by the children and share them here.
Ethan in P6/5 and Harmeher in P2 both rose tho the challenge with the great pictures below.
Harmeher’s nest
Harmeher found a nest from last year in the bushes and also showed us a view of the Pentlands.
Ethans Snowglobe
Ethan has taken some really great photos of ice and snow.
His icy sphere and use of perspective is really cool.
Well done Harmeher and Ethan.
