As junior leaders we had to remember NEDS.
Name, explain, demonstrate and safety.
We organised games for the younger children.

The Biggies did a wonderful job creating fantastic architecture with cardboard, no sellotape, no glue. Here are some of the things they wrote about the lesson in their e-Portfolios.

Blaeberry Mou
The Biggies have been making some animations of “Blaeberry Mou” a poem in Scots by William Soutar.
Listen out for Fulton’s playing of the chanter!
Blaeberry Mou
The flitterin faces come doun the brae
And the baskets gowd and green;
And nane but a blindie wud speer the day
Whaur a’ the bairns hae been.
The lift is blue, and the hills are blue,
And the lochan in atween;
But nane sae blue as the blaeberry mou’
That needna tell whaur it’s been.
William Soutar
A Christmas Truce
The Biggies have been learning about World War 1. We found out about the Christmas truce in the trenches. We though about images of War and Peace, made pictures and Islay made a movie using them. We sang Silent Night as a background track.
More Microbits
Zara made a video showing all of our micro:bit Christmas projects.
And here is another video from 2 primary 4s.
Remember you can see all of the microbit christmas videos too
How World War 1 Started
The Biggies looked at how trouble starts in the playground and how World War 1 started.
World War 1 Questions
Before we started our World War One topic, the Biggies had some great questions.
We are also thinking of different ways to take notes.
A micro:bit Christmas
The Biggies have been working hard designing models with microbits for Christmas.
While doing this we identified learning including Team Work, Coding, Building (measuring, painting, cutting etc.), Designing, Planning and Problem Solving! We also used Clips to make these videos. More are in the pipeline and will be added to the playlist when they are ready.
