We had a very creative morning today, using pomegranates as our stimulus! The class novel we are currently reading is called 'The Boy at the Back of the Class' by Onjali Q Rauf. The story is about a young boy who has come to London from Syria as a refugee. The pomegranate features in the story a lot as the boys' favourite fruit which reminds him of home.

We started with a writing task, with some excellent descriptive sentences. Next, pupils created still life drawings of the pomegranate and finally they got to taste it! Excellent work by all and a real buzz of excitement in class this morning.

For art, the pupils have been learning about different techniques to add depth and realism to their pictures. For these sky paintings, the children used watercolours and were inspired by photographs taken in the local area of beautiful skyscapes and weather phenomena. This links in with our learning in Interdiscplinary Learning on extreme weather and natural disasters. 

Here we are presenting our Significant Individuals in Science work to the class. We spoke about the important work of Marie Curie, Alexander Fleming, Louis Pasteur, Rosalind Franklin, Edward Jenner.

Our visit to the Newton Rooms in Caol. We had a full day workshop on Health Science.
