they have an opinion.

IDL/RRS

As a school we are aiming to get our Rights Respecting School Gold award.

To do this we all need to work together learning about the Articles of the UN Charter For The Rights

Of A Child.

Mrs Conway and the RRS school committee are taking the lead for this.

On the blog post there is an attachment for a PDF which is about the article that our school are looking

at this week.

On the final page of the PDF there are some activities for you to try.

Art –Global Goals

Below is a picture of the Global Goals logo:

This logo represents the 17 goals all together in a circle. Your challenge is to design your own logo

Mrs Conway has asked that if you attempt any of these activties and want to share your learning

(whether that is a picture of a piece of work or just a comment on what you discussed or enjoyed) she has

put her email address for you to send it to.

Something Fun (Optional)

Here is an origami car tutorial. You can change the speed of the video to slow it down to make it

easier to follow:

because if you don’t start with the smallest number, all of the bricks will fall!

You can also design your own May altar at home if you wish and take a picture for us to see!

St Ninian’s Take on Storm

Learning Intention:Create an image of ‘Storm’ using materials from your environment.

Click on the video clip below to learn more about Storm the Marionette puppet that visited Scotland earlier this year. (Once you have clicked on the link you might need to scroll down and click on the tile named ‘Storm’ to access the video)

https://visionmechanics.org/#about

Challenge details:You can use any type of materials/media to create your image of Storm. For example:

Use junk from around your house (empty cartons, boxes, bottles, empty toilet paper rolls etc) Paint a picture Draw a picture Use the computer Build with lego Use sticks, leaves, mud, sand

These are just a few ideas you can do whatever you wish.Your image can be 2D, 3D, life-size, created out in the garden. There are no limits to your creativity!

If you have a sibling in the house you might want to team up with them and create together or even with your adult.

Below is my son Noah with his Storm picture. He was very lucky to go and visit Storm earlier this year in Glasgow. We drew around his body and then used lots of junk to create her body and lots of feathers and pom poms as he wanted to make her very colourful.

I hope you have as much fun as we did creating Storm. Please e-mail me a copy of your picture to

kathryn.kerr@westlothian .org.uk as I would love to see your creations and tweet your picture.

Have fun!

Mrs Kerr
