Jacobite Timeline

We worked in groups today to create our own timeline of Jacobite battles. We were split into 4 groups and everyone had an important job to do. We had to make the timeline, make the labels for the battles, make the dates and the arrows.

We are very pleased with the finished product!

We hope this will help us to remember all the important dates as we learn more about some of the battles.

P6/7 at Muiravonside

P6/7 went to Muiravonside on Thursday 3rd October.  We took part in four different challenges and made dens using sticks, logs and leaves from the woods.  We had our lunch round a fire and then dismantled each other’s dens.  We worked in three different groups throughout the day.  We did these activities as part of our Highland Clearances topic.  It was very mucky work but it was amazing!

Model Croft Houses

Last week in P6/7 we were pretending that we were crofters like in 1700-1800 of the Highland Clearances so we built our own crofts.  Crofts are like houses and they used whatever they could find to build them.  We found stones, wood, grass etc. and built them into a mini model croft.  We built them outside first and then brought them inside but it left a bit of a mess!
