Edible Art at Easter

During the last two weeks of the Spring term P7A were investigating and discovering information about the Easter story.

To help the pupils understanding it was important to tackle these lessons in a interactive modern way.

Some examples of the approach taken were:

Edible Art
To depict some of the important aspects of the Easter story and understand that Christ sacrificed himself through death and was then resurrected, the children created art using edible materials - the resurrection, they then had the pleasure of eating this art -its death. Pictures were taken through out the process, so that they could be reversed and made into a film to create the image of death & sacrifice (agreeing who would have the most yummy parts of the art) followed by its rebirth.

The source pictures may be viewed at:

The films are currently being made by the pupils from these source photos.

To Download the Pictures to iPhoto
Use the above link to access the pictures, go into the album you are interested in. On the right hand side of the screen there is a link called - 'RSS Feed' - do a 'Right Mouse Button' on this and select - 'Copy Link Location'.

Go into iphoto - Select File/Subscribe to Photocast...... In the popup screen, you need to enter the web link, the easiest way is to press 'Apple-V' (Ctrl-V on a PC), followed by 'Subscribe'.

(These helpful suggestions where taken from http://azlan.anilezfa.com/download-picasa-web-album-with-iphoto).

This will download the photos. You can edit them before importing to iMovie.

In iMovie you need:

• Add a title page
• Add a credits page
• Add music - sombre music for the death and joyous music for the resurrection.

I JUST HOPE THESE LINKS WILL WORK ON THE SCHOOL NETWORK.

Target to draw something which is associated with Jesus & Easter, which could then be made into Edible Art

Painting based on classical biblical theme. Mary Magdalene and Jesus. Easter art.

The concept is we will take photos as it is made and then as we eat it.

The creation and the death

Make into a movie but reverse the view so --- death followed by creation to symbolise the death of Jesus and his resurrection.

Does anyone know where the earth movie we made is on YouTube ?

We have been learning about robots.We built our own robot then we had loads of races.

Our Topic this term is comparative study, which is when you compare your own country with another country.

We are also doing science and we are learning about robots, Herriot Watt lent us some robots to make.

P7A - Publish 'Structures of the Earth' work on the Web

From October until December 2009, P7a have been discovering about the Structures of the Earth.
To help support this learning, they have been working in groups to create volcanoes, earthquake resistant houses, movies, posters, podcasts, comic books, video and audio messages as well as composing their own music and songs.

Where possible the results of P7a fabulous work have been posted onto the Internet for others to enjoy. Use the links below to enjoy.

Movies about the Structure of the Earth
This is P7a premiere movie.
Structures of the Earth - Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ul6kYjBWd8

Structures of the Earth - Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc1aNIoJ6NQ

(Note due to a maximum length of 10 minutes for a video in YouTube, the video has been divided into two sections).
The pupils created movies (via iMovie) based on the theme of Earthquakes and Volcanoes, (using pictures from Google Images, which we gratefully acknowledge) they then composed accompanying music in GarageBand. The final movies were then merged to create a class movie.

Exploding Volcanoes
The pupils constructed 3D volcano models for homework. The models were labelled to show the features of a volcano.

You can see some of our volcanoes at http://picasaweb.google.com/buckstonep7a/Public_volcanoes#

We really enjoyed exploding some of them on the last day of term in the snow.



Dynamic Earth Feedback
The pupils were very fortunate to be able to visit Dynamic Earth on the 25th November. They greatly enjoyed the experience providing the opportunity to expand their knowledge about the Structures of the Earth in a fabulous learning environment. The children were tasked with finding different ways to feedback to Dynamic Earth about their visit, with a key focus on the information we wanted to feedback. These photographs capture many of the ideas.

Auld Lang Syne - Lyrics

There are numerous versions of this well known song/peom.

Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and days of Auld Lang Syne?

For Auld Lang Syne, my dear,
For Auld Lang Syne,
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
For Auld Lang Syne.

And there's a hand, my trusty fiere
And gie's a hand o' thine
We'll tak' a richt guid willy waught,
For Auld Lang Syne.

For Auld Lang Syne, my dear,
For Auld Lang Syne,
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
For Auld Lang Syne.
