As part of the Scotland/Social subjects grid we have set the task of making a flag.

Think about what you already know about flags.

Why do we have them?

What do they have in common?

What do they represent?

Why are they so different? or why are some similar? Here are two sets that are very similar.

     

Flags often have special meaning. The colours and shapes are not random. They often have a specific theme or idea connected to them. Some flags have mythical creatures or stories connected to them. Each flag is different and individual to the cause or Country it stands for.

The Welsh flag is a good example.

Your task is to make a flag that represents you.

Think about the colours you want to use, will you add a connection to family or friends? Will you add in something connected to a hobby or sport you enjoy? Will you include anything special to you? or will your flag be something totally different? It’s up to you.

Here is one I made with my Home School pupil. Pink and purple are her favourite colours and her hobby is dancing. She also added four hearts to represent the members of our family. For our flag we used fabric and glued on the pieces but you can use pen and paper or anything you have access to at at home. Don’t forget to share it with your teacher.
