P6 took their trip to the Scottish Parliament as part of their social studies topic on politics. We learned all about the history of the newer Scottish Parliament as we as the longer history of Scottish politics. We also learned a lot about the design of the building and how the architects added symbolic meaning to the design. Can you spot the Saltire?
Primary 6a have been looking at artifacts from the Victorian era. We discussed what the items looked like, what they could be used for and created questions about them. We were able to work out some of the answers to the questions through discussing them in a small group. We also thought about the modern day equivalents of these items. Can you guess what any of these items are used for?
We used mindmapping to take notes about Coobana and Fairtrade. Sharon made a lovely map and has included lots of useful information.
We worked collaboratively to research a variety of Paralympic events. We made posters which included a title, facts and interesting graphics. When we had finished, we shared our learning with the rest of the class by presenting our posters to them.
Primary 4 have looked at The Olympic games in Rio. They have researched some interesting facts. In RME they have also been looking at inspirational people in the world. This linked very nicely with the Olympics and as you can see from Callum’s writing he has been inspired by Usain Bolt.
Pr. 3 took part in an assembly about Numeracy and Maths. We spoke about the different ways in which we used our maths skills. Through our Social Studies topic on the Rainforest we measured the length of a typical rainforest tree, we made symmetrical butterflies and we located rainforest animals in the playground using map grid references. We were GGGRRREAT and the assembly was enjoyed by all.
