People’s Palace

Primary 2 visited the People’s Palace as part of their topic When Gran was a Girl. We took part in a timeline activity and explored how people lived in the past by visiting the laundry, shop, holiday  and single end displays in the museum. It was very interesting and we saw and handled lots of artefacts from the past.

We thought the People’s Palace was a lovely building and enjoyed exploring Glasgow Green after we had a picnic lunch. We saw a rower  and some ducks and geese on the River Clyde, met some police horses and then finally had a chance to play on the climbing frames and chutes. We had a great day! Thanks you to the parent and grandparent helpers who came along!

Tartan Day

During Tartan Day in school we sang a song called The World must be coming to an end, with lots of actions and some people were role playing.

We made props and Scottish flags – Saltires – for the role playing in our song. We also worked in pairs to design our own tartans and wrote acrostic poems about Scotland. We have a great display which parents can see during Find Out More Day in February.

We also took part in some food handling activities. We made shortbread and oatcakes and also made our own butter from cream. They tasted delicious and we were even able to share our shortbread with our families!
