University of Aberdeen Special Collections Library Visit

On Thursday P5/6 took a trip to the University of Aberdeen to extend their knowledge about Jacobites.

We were lucky to be shown a letter written by Bonnie Prince Charlie. He was writing about a money box and buying a carriage.

We were listened to the story of the Rout of Moy. We used a technique called a freeze frame to create stills of different parts of the story.

 

This is a picture of Lord Louden and another of Lady Anne Mackintosh.

 

We knew about Jacobites wearing white cockades on their bonnets as we created some in class, however, Sarah showed us up to make one a different way using paper in an origami style.

Science in P5/6

This week in Science, Primary 5/6 have been exploring how electricity works.

We learned about the different symbols that represent different parts within the circuit. We used this knowledge to help us when we were set challenges to design different circuits using, bulbs, batteries and wires.  Some also had a switch.

We can also draw a circuit for others to create using our symbols.
