The children explored viking runes. They wrote their own name using the viking alphabet and wrote a secret message to each other.

They loved making their own viking stones out of clay and carved their initials into them using viking runes.

The children used their craft making skills to make pom pom love bugs for Valentines Day!

The children explored the type of clothing Viking men and women would wear.

They investigated the materials that were used to make the clothing and how different materials were used to show a Viking’s wealth.

Using a variety of material including leather, silk and wool the children designed and created their own Viking clothing.

Fantastic job Primary 4!!

This week we enthusiastically took part in a STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) challenge. Pupils were challenged to build a bone bridge using cotton buds, lollipop sticks, pegs, tape, string and pipe cleaners. The bridge had to hold the weight of our class spider, stand alone and be longer than 5cm. We spent all afternoon sketching out plans and building. We had so much fun whilst developing life skills such as problem solving and teamwork.
