Food from Scotland and Around the World

As part of our Health and Wellbeing and Scotland topic we will be learning about where food comes from? Look in your cupboards at home and find 5 or 10 different food items from around the world. Could you either draw, photograph, or write a list of the food and the country it is from? We will look at your answers on Thursday afternoon.

World of Work Week

We would like to say a great big thank you to Mrs Pless for talking to us about her small business. It was fantastic to see how to design patterns and then learn how it is made into fabric before being sewn into clothes.

We were also very lucky to have a visit from the fire fighters at Kilwinning Fire Station and learn about their job and how they help people.

These big tools are used to cut or push open cars, if people are stuck inside, when they crashed.

This fire fighter is telling us about the special suits that they wear. They have tanks on their backs to help them breathe when they are in smoke. The suits have special material to protect them from flames.

Lots of long hoses are kept in the fire engine. They can get water from fire hydrants in the ground.

There are computers in the front of the fire engine which have maps to show the driver how to get to the fire.

Most fireman wear yellow helmets with visors but the boss wears a white one so we know who is in charge.

We got batty when we made our craft bats to decorate our homes.

Lots of photos added to show our active learning across the curriclulum. Hope you all enjoy sharing what you have learned with someone in your home.

Another new SHORS strategy added this week too. Hope you have a lovely weekend.
