What a busy term we have had! The children have learned a lot about Scotland this term – their knowledge and enthusiasm is impressive! We have learned about the life of Robert Burns and his poetry. We know more about some of the famous sights in Scotland, and particularly enjoyed finding out more about castles. We have learned about famous Scottish inventors and their inventions, and we even have our own ‘Inventors Kit’ which has given us the opportunity to create our own inventions! We enjoy using our Scottish tourist centre – our role play area in the classroom, and we have enjoyed designing pictures in the style of Rennie Macintosh.
We recently had a lesson on ‘Topical Science’ in response to the news report that Nasa had discovered 7 new earth-like planets. The children delved in to this new learning and in response to this we then learned more about our own solar system. The children are now fascinated by all things space related!
