This week we have started learning about China as part of our comparison study with Scotland. We learnt that Beijing is the capital of China.  We identified where the Great Wall of China is on a map.  The Great Wall of China was built to separate the people in the north of China from those in the south. We learnt that the shape of China on a map looks a bit like a chicken.

We then chose a Scottish city to compare with a city in China.  We identified the population, landmarks, local food and drinks found in both cities.

With Miss Campbell we have been learning about Scottish artists.  Using the Scottish artist Steven Brown for inspiration, we have created our own ‘McCoos’ using line and colour.

This week, we started looking at art by the Scottish artist Gillian Kyle.  We started creating our own Tunnock’s tea cake design using lines to create a pattern.
