Social Studies

We are enjoying learning about Ancient Egypt.   Our class went on a trip to Kelvingrove Art Galleries and took part in an Egyptian workshop.  During our visit we met a man called Pat who was our tour guide and he knew a lot about Egyptians.  At the handling session we passed round a scarab beetle and had to tell the different between a 5 year and 5 thousand year old shabtis’.

 

I learned that the American scarab beetles were big, the Egyptian ones were medium sized and the British ones were small. Charlotte

The first pyramid ever built was a step pyramid.  Mia

It was harder to get out of pyramids than to get into them. Hannah

Some tomb raiders would die in pyramids. Ethan

 

ICT

We have been using 2publish to create posters on the phases of the moon. Selecting from different styles of poster we can draw, shade and add shape and text to them.

I like changing the font, I didn’t know you could do this on 2Publish.   Moya

I enjoyed making phases of the moon because this linked to our science Sun, Moon and Stars topic.  Kate Mc

Our class have been learning about different bible stories. We watched the story of Joseph and used this story to match colours to emotions and feelings.

 

 

 

Science

Our topic is Sun, Moon and Stars. In our jotter we recorded the phases of the moon and found out that it takes a month for the moon to move around the earth, there are 8 phases during this time.  Whilst observing the sun, we have been out in the playground drawing round shadows and recording how they change throughout the day.

 

The shadows changed because the sun was lower down in the morning and had moved higher by the afternoon.  Hugh

 

When we went out in the morning the shadows were straight, forward and tall. In the afternoon it was to the right and was really small.  Molly

 

Art and Design

 

Warm colour blending has been our focus during art. We used red, orange and yellow paint to colour blend.  When dry, we used charcoal to add pyramids and camels.  This linked our Art skills to our Social Studies Egyptian topic.

 

I liked blending the colours using water to make them a bit lighter. It looked really nice when I put all the colours together.  Cameron D

 

We mixed Art with Social Studies I liked this because we used warm colours and that reminds me on the Egyptians.  Eva
