The Journey of a river

Over the last fews weeks we’ve been learning about the journey of a river and applying this knowledge to our topic ‘ The Craigie to the Clyde’.

We’ve explored the upper, middle and lower parts of the river and the different features of each part. We’ve followed the journey of Aurs Burn, to Brockburn all the way to the River Clyde.

We have recognised how features of rivers such as waterfalls, gorges and meanders are formed.

Finally we recreated our own river journeys using makedo kits and cardboard. We applied our craft and mathematical knowledge to make freestanding 3d objects and just slopes and lines to control the flow of the water. We worked in teams to plan, cut and create some fabulous designs.

Climate Ready Classrooms

Keep Scotland Beautiful organised a full day of events focusing on Climate Change.

We had a variety of activities to prompt discussion, make connections with our real life and develop our knowledge of the causes and effect of Climate Change. The workshops were led by experts through Teams Meeting and follow up activities and experiment was carried out in class.
