Youth Music Project

As part of our work with the Youth Music Project, Primary 6 have been working hard to rehearse their very own song. Our theme is the skeleton and we had lots of fun creating unique lyrics to a spooky melody. The children also designed a front cover for their CD – they are very excited about this and we look forward to sharing the final product with you. In the coming weeks we will work with Mrs Wilkinson and the choir to perfect our recording skills.

IDL Topic

Our IDL topic this term is the Victorians. Recently, we have been comparing school life in the past with modern day times. We were super excited to turn our class into a Victorian classroom last week. The children engaged well with this and are keen to explore the gruesome aspects of this era. In the lead up to Christmas we will be exploring the seasonal traditions from the Victorian period which have remained with us such as the Christmas card. We will also examine the differences between the Victorian diet and our own as part of Health and Wellbeing. There will be a small homework project based on this.

RE

In class the children have been learning about Other World Religions. Our focus this week is on Islam. We have thoroughly enjoyed exploring the five pillars of Islam and researching the special traditions which take place during Ramadan. Take a look at the wonderful mosques we have created!
