Mrs Cornwell, Mrs Mutch and P3a invite you to share in their learning
We noticed there was no sound but there may be something spinning underneath to tell blind people when to cross.
The red man changes back quickly so you don’t have time to start crossing but you can finish.
Had to concentrate really carefully because the green man was at the side and it changed so quickly we missed it a few times.
Still be aware of traffic to make sure it is stopping when the green man is on.
Today we had a class trip to the Wallace Monument and then to Stirling Castle. Some people were a little scared when we were climbing the very narrow, steep, stone staircase but everyone managed to climb up and enjoy the view and the exhibitions inside. Some people also found the climb very tiring. We saw an exhibition of William Wallace’s Sword.
We thought it was very tall, and almost the same height as most of the children in the class. We also got to see the armour that would have been worn. We saw the River Forth and realised it was very wide and we also saw the loop that trapped the English Army at the Battle of Stirling Bridge. We drove passed Stirling Bridge on our way to Stirling Castle. While we were at Striling Castle we visited the tapestry exhibition and saw the tapestry of William Wallace and Andrew Murray b ut we also saw one about Ally’s Tartan Army in the World cup of 1978. We took lots of photos but if you’d like to see them you’ll have to wait till our Assembly on Friday.
Next Friday, 20th February at 9.30 am, our class will be performing our assembly about one of our current topics! I’m sure you will be interested to see it so we look forward to seeing you all there.
For Scottish afternoon, we made scottish thistles to decorate the gym hall. We had to follow instructions from a laminated card to help us to draw a thistle. We practised several times before we drew our final one. We then used black pen to outline our drawing and we then used small pieces of tissue paper to add the colour. The picture above shows how we created the drawings. The final designs can be seen on display on Scottish afternoon.
Today we started work on measuring Area. We measured our tables using A4 pieces of paper. First, we had lots of different answers then we realised we had to lay them out the same way and we discovered the tables measure 20 pieces of paper.
