Before the Easter break, children in Rockfield’s Gaelic classes hosted an open afternoon to celebrate the launch of their very own books. The event was a really enjoyable way to end a very productive term and to involve parents, carers and peers in the children’s learning.
P2/1G based their books on their topic ‘Air an Tuathanas’ (On the Farm) and P4/3G created imaginative stories about ‘Na Lochlannaich’ (The Vikings). The children were really inspired by the book-writing project and produced some excellent work.


The children learned about the journey of food from a farm, and the diet of the Vikings. They made butter, oatcakes and soda bread, and served these with cheese and fruit to their visitors.

P4/3G’s homework challenge was to create a Viking costume for the event, and P2/1G enjoyed having their faces painted as farm animals. The children looked fantastic and thoroughly enjoyed their day as they proudly presented their work to family and friends!
