We have been working about timeline. We used timelines to put a famous history and events about Dundee. We used decades (10years), century (100years) and millenniums (1000years). We worked on mill, cent and Dec. We used dictionary and I pods to search what kind of word there is that begins with mill, cent and Dec. We managed to do it with my p7 and p6 cooperative learning groups.

In p7/6 we have joined with the other p7 class and made co-operative learning teams and together in our groups we have been making timelines in my group is Thomas Eilidh and Fraser A. We have been given Ipods to research different people and the times they appeared on the timeline.We have been using word like mill =1000 Ad = Anno domnide  Bc =before Christ . We got booklets about the people and different events I learnt that the royal arch was built for queen Victoria and she didn’t show up! I Think I did well on this project and hope we do something like this again

In our class co-operative learning groups we made parts of Dundee.

In our group we made the school,the Tay bridge and the peach and white building.

Aaron and I made the Tay bridge with help from Miss Mooney and others.

The Tay bridge was silver and had lighter and darker squares.

while we did that Bethany and Zaara did the others.

Today (Which is Tuesday) we are going to start putting up the art on to the wall

In our classroom, we used to have a Display all about Australia – which was our last topic. However this Project was about Dundee so yesterday we made paper collages of  famous landmarks in Dundee. My class co-learning group did the Balgay hill.  At first I  thought it was going to be easy but after break we`d only had done the rough drawing of the hill! We then were told that we should draw some squares on  the hills so it  looked pixelated. I really enjoyed making the display!

In our co-operative learning groups we did time lines . We did this work with Mr Young’s class. We got some bits  of paper with different events and the times they happened we had to order them from the times they happened . I think our group did okay but we didn’t finish the task . To take this task further I would go to the library and research the events and the times they happened .

In p7/6 I was doing a time line. In our build it Scotland project with my co-operative teams. we had to find different words beginning with Mill-1000 Cent-100 Dec- 10. Each three words come from Latin. We got a timeline sheet which we had to colour in the sheet and we had to write the dates. We got  lots of little sheets of paper which we had to find the  dates and put it on the nearest date. I found it a bit hard when we had to find the date for the little sheets I want to do more so I can understand more about timelines.

Primary 7/6 and 7 went to Mr  Young’s class to learn about time lines. We did decades, centuries and millions in our co-op groups . My group is me Adam ,Grace and Scarlet. We did a timeline.  I learnt that  bi made two tri made three quad made four and more. I learnt that BC meant before Christ and AD means Anno Domini.

As part of our Build It Scotland Project, in our co – learning groups, we used timelines to put famous events in history from long  ago to quite recent. We used a  decades [10 years] and century  [100 years] for the most recent events and we used millennium [1000 years] for older periods in time [ the Egyptians for instance]. I had a lot of interest  finding out what the date was for each  card. It was great fun.

In class we have been making time lines in our topic group . we have been learning about different ways of measuring time like decades , century and millenniums this really comes in handy when doing time lines. I really enjoy making time lines because I like learning about different things that happened in history and I like working in topic groups . I really hope  we can make more time lines in the future because I really enjoy making them.

On Tuesday, we went in co-operative learning teams. Then we had to draw and paint the landmarks in Dundee. Our team chosen the Discovery and the Caird hall. Me and Zhara did the Caird hall, Kyle and Ollie did the Discovery. we managed to do it and finished in time because everyone helped each other. Next time we could take our time and we could put a bit of detail in it.
