Primary 4d spent the afternoon researching prominent figures of their choice from Scotland’s past, taking notes about their lives and discussing their achievements in groups. We then had a lively class discussion and the pupils debated, shortlisted and chose the 5 people that they wanted to learn more about over the course of the topic. The famous, historic and influential Scots chosen by the class are:
Calgacus – First Scot to be recorded in history;
John Logie Baird – Inventor of the television;
Alexander Fleming – Discoverer of penicillin;
Robert Louis Stevenson – Famous Scottish novelist;
James Watt – Inventor and engineer.
Well done primary 4d!
