Leave a comment

Primary 6/7 have worked very hard on their WW2 homework projects. They went away and picked their own subject to research and created models, PowerPoints, posters and drawings and presented them to the class. Everyone enjoyed doing this and we learnt many things from each other.

Ruby made a model of a Spitfire using a kitchen roll tube, kinder egg toy holder and a fish fingers box.
Ruby’s Spitfire!
Hamish made a poster about evacuation and what to pack in a suitcase.
Beth brought in a Spitfire gunner log.
Beth also brought in a ration book from WW2 time.
Mhairi’s great grandad made this for her grandad during WW2.
Mhairi also brought in medals that belonged to her great grandad.
Jody researched hero dogs that were well known during the WW2. Stubby, Chips and Smokey.

We have been learning to use Microbits.  These help us to learn about coding and programming.  Primary 7s have been supporting the 6s when necessary and so far we are able to code letters to make our name appear on the screen in lights.  This is helping us with our problem solving skills as we only have a website and instructions for help and we are resisting the temptation to ask the teacher for help.  This term we will also be exploring Yammer and finding out how we can use this as a tool to communicate effectively and safely with our peers.
