St. Andrew’s Ceilidh Celebration at Port Ellen.

This term the children from P3/4 and P5 have both been learning about aspects of Scotland.
We have all enjoyed finding out amazing and exciting historical facts and events. Both classes researched significant Scottish people from leaders and rebels to authors and inventors.
P5 used Digi Maps to help them develop their knowledge of the geography of Scotland and researched places of interest from all over the country. They then worked collaboratively to a make 3D map of Scotland with clay models of important Scottish landmarks.
Children in P3/4 worked hard to complete a personal topic about a famous person, food and a place and used their findings to create a quiz.

During buddy time, children from both classes worked together to learn some traditional Scottish dances and songs. They then worked together to plan and organise a celebration of their learning in the form of a ceilidh for St Andrews to which family were invited.
The ceilidh was a huge success with a great wealth of talent on show and lots of delicious Scottish home-baking being enjoyed by everyone.
