P3 have been learning about life in Old Edinburgh. They created scenes of the High Street using chalk pastels and focusing on the visual elements of colour and tone. Their work showed the cramped tenaments, cobbled streets, washing hanging out to dry and people emptying their rubbish onto the street below shouting, “Gardyloo!”
The pupils then explored a technique called ‘overpainting’. Their original work was photocopied and then bits of it were painted over to change the look of it. The pupils added brightly coloured shop fronts, phone boxes, cars, busses and people in bold clothing to make the picture look modern.
This year our Sustainability Groups have been centered around the 17 Global Goals. We have considered what they mean to us as a school and we have based our groups around them in order that they are purposeful and meaningful. This term our groups have been: Water, Ghana, Rights Respecting Schools, Equalities, Money and Finance, Endangered Animals, Life on Land and Below Water, Multifaith, Multicultural Play, Problem Solving, Press Gang, Poverty and Problem Solving.
