Today (Thursday 7th March) the class celebrated World Book Day dressed up as their favourite characters or pyjamas! The class shared their favourite books and reading places.
We have also created a book themed classroom door and designed our own bookmarks!
As part of our Victorians topic we teamed up with P5/6 to explore Victorian clues around Rosemount. We put on our history detective hats, grabbed our clipboards and clue book and headed out! We investigated various buildings in the local area looking for dates and initials. We compared old and new houses looking for clues as indicators! We learned all about the local buildings including the rail station on Hutcheon Street!!
To celebrate Robert Burns we have been learning all about his life! We have been using our research skills to find out where and when he was born, why he was famous and when he died. We have also been looking at some of Robert Burns’ poetry – in groups we looked at ‘To a Mouse’ and we shared recitals of ‘Address to a Haggis’ and ‘My Love is like a Red Red Rose’ with the P4s over a glow meet! We also learned the words and dance to ‘Auld Lang Syne’!
