Learning Showcase

Room 14 welcomed around 50 adults to our classroom for our Learning Showcase about Scotland and Japan. We began the showcase by welcoming our families and decided to share some of the things we performed at our Scottish Assembly. We volunteered to lead the assembly for Primary 3s and 4s. We began by singing The Jeely Piece Song and then recited the poem, ‘The Ballad of Janitor Mackay’. It was great having some of our parent/carers join in with the song and comment positively about the memories it brought back for them. The poem got a few laughs from all and the pupils did a wonderful job reciting it in sync.

We then had time to split into our 6 topic groups and show all of the learning we recorded in our Floor Books about Japan. We had a checklist to work through which included looking at class and corridor displays and a few special challenges. Miss Gray kindly provided us with an experiment involving spaghetti and marshmallows and we also created posters. This was a great afternoon and we’d like to thank everyone for coming along. We especially enjoyed building volcanoes and carrying out science experiments inside them. We are already looking forward to inviting you into our classroom again.
