This week we have been busy preparing our learning journals.  We are very proud of the work we have done and are looking forward to sharing it with you.  Please return the learning journals to school on Monday 18th February.

This week Mr Smith came in to teach us about William Wallace and Robert the Bruce.   He showed us a sword, but it wasn’t a mediaeval one because the mediaeval swords were made of iron and they used to shatter on the battlefield.  He also showed us shackles, they were like handcuffs but for your legs.  We have learned how William Wallace won the battle of Stirling Bridge by knocking out the pegs under the bridge so the English fell into the water.  Mr Smith told the teachers to be quiet and he tried to scare them by asking us questions about what we had already learned.  But we knew lots!  He also showed us Robert the Bruce’s reconstructed face –  people used to think he had leprosy and it was gruesome!

We did Book and a Blether this morning.  Some of our mums, dads, grannies and grandads came in to share reading with us.
