This week in our language and topic lessons we have been learning all about the Battle of Falkirk. Please tell someone at home some of the interesting facts you have been learning about the battle.

In our topic lesson this morning you began creating your 3D map of the battlefield. There is a lot to do in this task and you really need to work closely with your clan members on this one to ensure you get it finished on time. I have to say every clan has made a great start. Well done!

As always we have a skills focus to consider and this week we are looking at:

Skills for Learning: Application: I can apply my knowledge of important historical events in a different context. I can carry out a task using what I have learned.

Social Skill: Helping each other: I can help my clan members in an appropriate way to ensure completion of a given task.

Here are some photographs from today’s session. I look forward to, hopefully, posting the completed maps on Thursday. Let me know what you think so far.
