The Battle of Stirling Bridge

By Batoor and Marcel

By Morgan and Bobbie”

We have been making 3D cardboard images of Stirling Bridge. We have tried to make it look like it did a long time ago when it was still made of wood. It was burnt down by William Wallace during the battle but was built again with stone bricks. We hope you like our picture cardboard Stirling Bridge. This one was made by Morgan and Bobbie.

On what day was The Battle of Stirling Bridge fought?

William Wallace

Our topic this term is about William Wallace and Robert de Bruce. We are really enjoying it and we have learned so much about the Scottish Wars of Independence. See if you can answer any of the questions below and lets see how much you know about scottish history.

1, When was William Wallace born?

2, How old was he when he travelled to Dunipace?

Interesting ……!

P4A1 Assembly Update – ZOOM TO THE SIXTIES

We had a lot of fun practicing for our assembly. We were able to share a lot of facts we learned with everyone and especially our friends. We will mention some popular facts we learned. Starting with a famous band called The Beatles. The Flinstones was a great movie as well as The Sound of Music. We also know for a fact that Elvis Presley married Priscilla Presley.The Rolling Stones became popular band while Mohamed Ali also known as Cassius Clay won the World Heavy Weight Championship. JFK got assassinated in Dallas. and The Beach Boys was a fantastic band with The Temptations following closely behind.
Hope you enjoyed learning all these facts about the sixties. Stay tuned and we will keep you updated.

Autumn !!

What a nice break!. Well this is going to be an exciting term with loads of stuff to do. We have our Primary 4 Assembly coming up and it’s all about the sixties. We’ll tell you about it as we get ready for it. Please feel free to give us ideas and tips to make it more interesting.

ONE WEEK TO GO!!!!!!

One week to the October break. The children are still finding out important facts about the 60’s and sharing it in class. It’s good to know that they are enjoying this as much as I am. All the information they have gathered has been compiled and written as a report. I hope we will be able to share some of the reports with you all.

Swinging Sixties

It’s amazing how time flies……I wish we could all ride on it’s wings. P4 has been swiinging back and forth and comparing fashion, entertainment, cars and games from the 1960’s to what we have today. Through research we have discovered a lot of things. We have also been gathering evidence to back it up. It’s been hard work but even more fun. We now know that ‘Twiggy’ was a fashion icon in the sixties. We also know that ‘The Flinstones cartoon’ is still quite popular today even though it came out in the 60’s. Great stuff!!!! Next we will be discussing racism and how it changed dramatically throughout the sixties which involved the passage of bills into laws especially because of protests by anti-racist groups such as the Freedom Riders. Stay tuned for more exciting facts

Welcome back!
