Visit of the artist Laura Drever

Laura Drever visited all the P3 classes to help the children create their own settings by working with the medium of paint and small sticks to create different textures. These settings will be used at a later date as a stimulus for story writing. The children really enjoyed using large and small brushes on proper artist's paper.

Chinese New Year

Today Helen O' Neil came in to tell us a bit about Chinese New Year. Mrs O' Neil and her family lived in Malaysia before coming to Orkney. We managed to fit all of the P2 classes into one classroom. She showed us some of the decorations you might see in places that celebrate the Chinese New Year and told us some stories about the 12 animals involved in the Chinese New Year. We even got a chance to do a lion dance. The costume was great fun and we made lots of noise!
