Primary 3 and Primary 3\/4 classrooms have been transformed into a scene from Ancient Egypt\u00a0this week.\u00a0The children have been proudly bringing in their technology homework. \u00a0The children were set a task\u00a0of creating their\u00a0own pyramids. \u00a0This was to enable children and their parents to work collaboratively\u00a0and develop an understanding of materials that can be used in technology. \u00a0The homework task also allows the children to\u00a0\u00a0focus on their practical skills, using a\u00a0range of tools under their parents supervision.<\/p>\n

I was so pleased to see the children thinking of the environment and remembering that we are an Eco school. \u00a0Most of the materials used were recyclable and we\u00a0even have a pyramid made from cake!<\/p>\n

I think that there are some of Scotland’s \u00a0future\u00a0creative designers and architects\u00a0among the children who\u00a0have already brought in their pyramids.<\/p>\n

Watch out for pyramid\u00a0houses\u00a0in Shotts in 2030!<\/p>\n
