We have had lots of fun learning about Ancient Scotland.  Yesterday we worked in small groups to complete different design challenges. We were challenged to design tools that the ancient Scottish farmers may have used.  We were only allowed to use materials that would have been available between 3000-2000BC. Here are some pictures of us working on our challenge and presenting our finished tool designs.

We have had a busy couple of days rounding up our maths topic of Symmetry through Carousel Learning activities. We thought you would like to see some of our pictures of us hard at work!!

This week Primary 7 have been designing some tartan that would be suitable for the Jacobites. They firstly designed the tartan in their jotters and then got more creative by creating tartan patches using coloured card and coloured wool. The tartan effect was completed by weaving the wool through the card. They look fabulous, have a look at the children preparing their tartan.

Primary 5/4 have been busy this week investigating different things that affect their breathing rate. They have successfully worked together to carry out an experiment exploring how different types of exercise affects this.

This week Primary 7 began a 6 week block of rugby with Ruaridh from the School of Sport. Ruaridh is trying to encourage the children to join the School of Sport once they go to St Maurice’s in August.

The children have been learning how to play touch rugby and have had the opportunity to practise passing, attacking and defending. They have been able to play short games of touch rugby in their groups.

Here are some pictures of the class in action.
