Steve Lawson is a musician, educator and Web 2.0 enthusiast. I have been following Steve Lawson on Twitter (@solobasssteve) since I joined earlier in the year (@theFlowMusic) and his enthusiasm and ideas have caught my imagination.

Welcome back everyone! I hope you had a good holiday and a good break away from school work.
This blog is a new idea to help you all with your work and homework. Every week I’ll be posting the homework here as a reminder of what you are meant to be doing. This isn’t a substitute for writing it down in your Homework Jotters though!
I will also be adding links to web sites that might be useful and any other things that I think might help or might be of interest.
This term sees us finishing off our Vikings topic. Here are some links to the Viking web sites we have looked at together:
Later on in the term we’ll be looking at land use in Edinburgh and our local community.
In ICT we will finish off our Garage Band music once we are able to access them again. We’re nearly there now, so we just need to get the right number of instruments and time (2 minutes).
As Drama seems to be very popular, I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know that we’ll be doing some more of that as well this term.
In Art, we are going to be working on our contribution to a school art exhibition. Each class is doing a piece of work inspired by a famous artist and the work will feature in a school calendar. P4b’s artist is Andy Warhol, who is known for a style of painting called Pop Art.
Here is one of his more famous paintings. I know what you’re thinking: “It’s a can of soup!” It is!
I think we can have some fun with this and learn about art at the same time.
