Rosneath Primary School visited the Titan Crane recently. We would highly recommend going. As you can see some of us did not look that keen to be going way up there but we did it! Can you imagine the size of some of those vessels that were lifted? The weather was against us that day – wet, freezing cold and windy – but we soldiered on. The guides were great and we had an interactive World War 2 workshop using the Smart board. This was linked to our Interdisciplinary Study of the Second World War with a particular focus on the Clydebank Blitz. Continue reading UP THE TITAN CRANE, CLYDEBANK

Young Tobermory Authors
Seeing a gap in the market, Primary 3 & 4, along with their teacher Mrs Carmichael, from Tobermory High School decided to embark on an enterprising interdisciplinary project and write their very own Mull & Iona Activity Book. This was designed for locals as well as visiting children to buy when they come to the Island. The full colour book is very informative and contains lots of fun activities for children to enjoy. It tells the reader many facts about the island they are visiting, including the history and wildlife of Mull as well as key events going on throughout the year.

SCOTTISH EXTRAVAGANZA AT DALINTOBER
Primary 5 at Dalintober have recently completed an Interdisciplinary topic about Scotland ‘s landscape. The subject was introduced through Chocolate Geography which used various bars of chocolate to show how the world is made up out of 3 types of rock. The idea we used was supplied by The National Parks, Loch Lomond. We investigated the three main areas in Scotland by using websites, games and videos. We used Google Maps to find places in Scotland and marked them on a large map along with some pictures. This formed a quiz for other pupils. We used photographs of the local area taken from a microlight. Continue reading SCOTTISH EXTRAVAGANZA AT DALINTOBER

Numeracy & maps with Rothesay P2
We were pleased to receive Task 2 – ‘where is my head?’ from Easter Island.
We had lots of ideas of what we could do to fulfil the task. We decided that we would like to create a 3D map of Easter Island.
We had great fun creating the island using paper and glue to make volcanoes, mountains and rocks. We made sure that there was enough room left so that we could stand some of our clay models on them and we all agree that it looks really effective.

Over the last 8 weeks Carradale Primary School has received secret missions to do with the Unsinkable Ship, The Titanic. As a celebration of their learning, the pupils held a Captain’s Ball on Thursday 29th March for
