March

Ella notes that we have been confident and RESPONSIBLE by reading out our parts for the Spring Service. Abby loved that we were all INCLUDED when we practised playing the glockenspiels to “Spring is Coming”, to the tune of Frere Jacques. We even recognised the notes we have learnt with Mrs Carey in Music.

We can RESPECT all people and realise that people need help in different ways. We can read the Braille alphabet and even translated a letter from Braille.

We have ACHIEVED great ICT skills and can use Excel to produce our own graphs.

We have RESPECTED people of all religions and found out more about Islam and how a baby is named. Raymah’s name is one of the 99!

Aaron knows much more about Scottish inventors and how they communicated with each other after our visitors came from the Museum of Communication in Burntisland.

Our visitors talked to us and brought exhibits from their Great Scots exhibition. We found out even more about Scottish inventors they had started researching at the start of the term – these included John Logie Baird’s invention of the telephone, Robert Watson-Watt’s invention of radar, Lord George Murray’s invention of  the shutter telegraph, James Bowman Lindsay’s invention of the incandescent light bulb,  Ian Donald’s invention of ultrasound devices, Denyer and Renshaw’s invention of the micro-chip camera and Alexander Graham Bell’s invention of the telephone.   We were able to play with very old original telephones, a replica of Murray’s optical telegraph, a Morse machine, semaphore flags and a special light-emitting device – incandescent light.

They also shared an interesting poem titled “Rough Justice” that Sir Robert Watson-Watt had wrote after he was caught for speeding by a radar gun of his own invention.

Logan knows more about places in the world because we had visiting teachers from America and Switzerland to help us with our learning. This class is able to RESPECT people from different countries. We also discovered that Miss Golding was brought up in Tanzania. She shared more about her country with us.
