Today in class we were learning more about our Scotland topic. We were looking at where Scotland is in the world using a globe and we looked at countries which were near us and far away from us. Some children spoke about places they had visited in the UK and abroad, and we looked at where these places were on the globe.

The boys and girls then used an atlas to locate places in the UK, to locate some cities in the UK and then to find where Wishaw was! They all managed these tasks and were engaged and active in their learning.

We discussed what a boundary was and found out where the boundary was between Scotland and England. Primary 5 were later asked to name some Scottish Cities and then were challenged to use their atlas to find 7 cities in Scotland and locate them on a blank map. Everyone in class had success with this and found it fun using their prior learning to help them.

Have a look at our photos showing us involved in our learning!
