We are starting a new topic this term which is called, ‘Children in the Past.’ We are going to be investigating how children lived long ago and whether it will be different from how we live now. We talked about the new topic as a class and we found that we know lots of information. We also thought of some questions for things we didn’t know. Some of there were:
Where did they sleep?
Did they make their own things?
Did they have a cooker?
Who looked after the babies and where were they born?
How long did poor people live for?
How did they wash their clothes?
How did people survive this long?
In order to help us find our information we thought we could use books, the internet and ask people who lived long ago. We also began to think about old things that we had at home that we could take pictures of or share with the class.
We are all very excited about starting this topic! If anyone, thinks they could help learn more about our topic then please let us know.
We watched the live webcams during the Autumnwatch series on BBC2 (we once saw a beaver swimming!) and so we were excited to watch the Winterwatch live webcams all this week. We watch the webcam feed during registration in the mornings to see what we can spot! We have seen all different birds, cheeky squirrels and sleeping beavers! Two Aigas field workers, Sue and Sarah, came to talk to us about the wildlife they have at Aigas and in other protected areas in Inverness. We remembered our trip to the Aigas centre in P1 so we really enjoyed listening to Sarah and Sue and looking at their stuffed friends that they brought along! We hope you enjoy the pictures that we took and a thank you from P2S to Sarah and Sue, what a super start to Term 3!
We hope everyone had a good break and keep an eye on our blog to see what exciting things we will be doing and learning about during Term 3!
