Month: January 2018

A huge well done to Primary 2a who participated in our Scotland assembly this morning – you were all fabulous!

The children have really engaged with our Social Studies topic on a historic individual and places within Scotland, learning about the life of Robert Burns and using non-fiction texts and videos to learn facts about Scotland.

The children are looking forward to showing you their Scotland leaflets which shows their learning about the Scotland flag, cities within Scotland and demonstrates their note-taking skills.

In Art and Technologies they have also created a Burns collage using different materials and 3D models of bagpipes which the children were keen to take home to show you today.

Primary 2a have learned so much throughout this topic already and I would like to thank all of our visitors who attended our assembly this morning. We very much hope you enjoyed!

 

 

 

 

Here are a  few pictures from this morning’s assembly.

Have a good weekend and I look forward to seeing many of you next Thursday (1st Feb) at our Open Afternoon.
