As part of our Glasgow Topic Primary 2a has been learning about the Burrell collection, famous Scots, specifically John Logie Baird and Alexander Graham Bell.  We learnt that Logie Baird was famous for inventing the television and that Graham Bell was famous for inventing the telephone. As part of our lesson we made our own televisions out of boxes and paper.  We used tape, scissors and teamwork to create them.  We also made telephones out of plastic cups and string.  We then talked to each other using them.

In ICT we have begun to learn how to do research using search engines on the computer.  We all found a famous Scot that we did not know before.

In language we have also been learning about Glasgow.  We learnt about William Burrell and the Burrell Collection. We took notes from a text and summarised them. Before the holidays we all gave a talk about the famous Glaswegian of our choice.

Primary 2 have really enjoyed learning about our topic, please ask us about it.
