This afternoon we also had a visit from one of our primary ones Papas. He came in to talk to us about what life was like when he was a young boy, to link to our topic about life in Scotland as a child in the past.
We learned a lot about what school and hone life was like, toys and games he used to play with and also about what Christmas was like. It was really interesting and we were shocked when we heard about children getting the belt and the fact that there were no mobile phones or tablets! 😱
Thank you so much to Papa for coming in to talk to us and answer our questions. And for telling us all about life growing up in the 1950s.
It was fascinating.
This afternoon we learned about the famous Scottish poet Robert Burns and learned about how we celebrate his life and work in Scotland by having a Burns supper.
In class we celebrated by having a wee party with some treats of haggis crisps, shortbread, oatcakes and a wee splash of iron bru. We coloured in some tartan and Scottish pictures and listened to bagpipe music.
We had a braw time together!
We had a lovely morning when our parents and grandparents visited us in class today. We loved showing off our learning and working with them. It was just a little hard for us to say goodbye at the end.
Thank you to everyone who came to visit us!
Today in ICT we used our logins for Sumdog and played maths games to help us with number.
the Primary five class came to help us to login and help us to play for the first time. We had great fun and we all want to play Sumdog at home now too!
We all have our login details to bring home with us today after school so we can play Sumdog at home on a tablet, smartphone or computer. 😊
Out topic this term is all about comparing how life in Scotland was different in the past to how it is now e.g. toys, houses, school etc.
