At the start of this week Primary 5 voted for their new topic to be The Vikings! Some of their fabulous ideas for learning experiences included creating our own Viking shields, longboats and longhouses. In order to do this we will need any old any unused cardboard, cardboard boxes, cereal boxes, plastic bottles or any old food packaging from home! Can you please send in any unwanted household packaging that we could use for our junk modelling experiences over the next couple of weeks. Thank you.
