A Democratic Society

What a great afternoon of learning today in primary 6! Our pupils were so animated and enthusiastic whilst learning about the Scottish government, political parties and creating a timeline of our first ministers, that my voice was hoarse from answering all of their questions by 3 o’clock! It’s great to have such a positive response to a lesson.

Now, your challenge for 10 Housepoints and 2 pebbles is to name the person who is widely considered to have been the first Prime Minister of Britain.

For an extra 10 Housepoints I would like you to tell me something new that you have learned so far about our topic.

Lets build those Housepoints primary 6, I will publish your answers on Friday morning.

Primary 6 are about to begin our new IDL topic. We have come up with lots of things that we would like to learn and have included a shared planning grid for you to see how these link to other ares of the curriculum.

Keep looking back to see how we are progressing with our topic.
