Primary 4b have been learning about Charles Rennie Mackintosh in Social Studies. This week we went on a trip to Scotland Street School Museum.<\/p>\n

In the morning we met the Head Master; he was very strict! We went on a tour of some of the museum and learned about what life would have been like for children when the school first opened. Boys and girls played separately and even took different lessons! The girls would learn how to cook, clean and look after a home, whilst the boys learned woodwork and other skills to prepare them for the world of work.<\/p>\n

We made the bed, including new pillow cases and sheets – we promise to do our own at home from now on!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"
Polishing the brass was a job for the girls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Laying the table and preparing food was a job for the girls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
In lessons, no one dared to move. If you misbehaved you would be given the belt!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Here we are learning how to bake, we thought that this would an enjoyable lesson but the Head Master told us that because of the stoves, it would have been hot, uncomfortable and dangerous!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Here we are polishing the shoes for the men of the house!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Here we are doing our drill. The boys and girls would usually do this separately.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
We had a lot of dishes to wash and dry!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
The irons were very heavy. Girls would have done this for 3 hours a day at school!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the afternoon we took part in a workshop called Shapes of Mackintosh which was great fun! We loved being in a building that Charles Rennie Mackintosh had designed and enjoyed looking at all of the hidden shapes and symbols.<\/p>\n

\"\"
We created shapes with our bodies.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
In groups we created larger shapes together. This group created a star!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
We created a pentagon!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
We created a cone!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Another star!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
We also created a star!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
At the end of our workshop we created our own pieces of artwork by printing and painting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
We went outside to look for different shapes around the building. We learned about the shapes that Mackintosh used to represent different things. The Mackintosh Squares in the background are a thistle!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
We created a sphere!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
