We have had another busy week in P1C!

We are continuing to learn about Scotland and this week we looked at famous Scottish Landmarks and their features. We decided to create them in the construction area and we created landmarks like Edinburgh Castle, The Kelpies and Loch Ness.

“I made a famous Scottish castle!”

“We made Scottish landmarks, I made Loch Ness with Nessie in it!”

We also had great fun learning about the different types of Scottish Dance. We worked in pairs to learn some different ceilidh dances, we tried a Canadian Barn dance and Gay Gordons. We especially loved the parts were you got to spin around with you partner.

“I loved it!”

“It was fun when you spun around with your partner.”

We also learnt how to preform a highland fling!

This week we have also looked at the importance of tartan, we know that tartan is special in Scotland and that each clan and family have their own tartan. We created our own tartan using cars to help us create the lines.

“We used the cars to help us make the tartan, the car made the lines and we choose different colours to create it.”

“I made a colourful tartan.”
