This week we have been continuing our learning about Super Scotland!!

On Monday we looked at maps inside an Atlas that showed parts of Scotland.

We liked looking at the different places we recognised.

There were pictures of places we had been. We found Hadrian’s Wall, Newton Mearns, Glasgow and we even found the islands our school houses are named after!

 

On Tuesday it was very cold so we sat out some ice in a tray to see how long it took to freeze.

By Wednesday morning it had frozen. When we brought it into the class it started thaw which made the centre part spin round. It made the animals look like they were ice skating!

We went outside and put other things in our own trays to make frozen pictures!

On Thursday we learnt about tartan and how it is made. Vertical and horizontal lines are used to create a pattern.

Tartan use to be banned in Scotland until only a few hundred years ago. We found some of our own family tartans.

We made our own tartan patterns and found some tartan material to wear in the classroom.

We continued to build Scottish landmarks in the classroom.

Look at Edinburgh Castle!

 

Have a great weekend!
