During our topic “150 Years of the Scottish Cup”, the boys and girls in P5/6 developed their mapping skills by locating the football teams involved in the Scottish Cup on a map of Scotland. The children used digital technology, including an online map and an atlas, to find each team and then pinpoint their locations on a blank map.
P5/6 have been learning about 150 Years of the Scottish Cup. The children studied the Scottish Cup trophy, learned about the symbolism behind the engravings and ‘the wee man at the top’ and then created their own trophy which represented them, with symbols relating to their hobbies and interests.
P5/6 worked in groups to order the events of the Titanic disaster to create a timeline. The children were against the clock and the winning team received 5 Ambition House Points each.
Linking to our topic of the Titanic, P5/6 carried out an experiment investigating how icebergs and formed and why they float. The children created predictions based on the different water solutions and then recorded their observations.
P5/6 have taken part in the ‘If I ruled Scotland’ competition run by The Hunters Foundation.
The children worked as a class to identify a problem in Scotland, explain why it was a problem, and then created solutions to address the issue.
The children created a video clip highlighting the importance of making all parks in Scotland accessible to all children.
We visited Fenwick Park to shoot our video clip and used illustrations to highlight the changes we would make to make the park accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
P5/6 have been using their knowledge of the Titanic to create a brochure advertising the ships maiden voyage. Each brochure included relevant facts explaining the different pick up points, facilities onboard the ship, and ticket prices.
