Our new topic for block 5
Both P6 classes worked together to think about our new topic for block 5.
This is what we had to think about.
I can investigate a Scottish historical theme to discover how events or the actions of people in the past have had an effect on Scottish society.
What do we know already?
Roman topic in P3, Victorians in P5, Celts in P4, Orkney settlements, Scotland versus England- massive fights, Jacobites, Mary Queen of Scots, 6 nations, Vikings, Myths and legends in Scotland, dinosaurs, Loch Ness monster, castles, Neidpath.
What do we need to know?
When it was, why it happened, what people did, who was involved, effect it had on people, what was the outcome/result, what caused it, how people lived.
What is a Scottish historical theme? the actions of people, the effect that their actions had.
How would we like to do this?
A trip, drama, museums, art, predictions, make weapons, powerpoint, blogs, re enactments.
We chose to do Scottish wars of Independence
Why is this important?
We have the same issues today but we have to deal with them differently, its important to remember what people have done in the past, we should learn from our experiences and respect those who have been affected
I can choose which primary and secondary sources are best to use when researching events in the past.
What do we know already?
computers and books, education, Tim said primary is the first experience and secondary is copies.
What do we need to know?
We need to research the events, what is a primary resource and what is a secondary resource, who is involved

Bikeability
Today Primary 6a spent a great day learning biking skills. Keith and his team came for the day and we learned some of the skills that will keep us safe when cycling. We cycled through all weathers- sleet, rain, wind(no sun!) and Keith said how he was impressed that nobody moaned about the cold! We all enjoyed our day and would like to say thank you to Keith and his team of helpers.

Broad Bean and Cress Experiment
We have started two experiments to look at how seeds and beans would cope in different environments because during seed dispersal it can be luck whether a seed gets a nice place to grow or a difficult environment to grow in. We are keeping an eye on the cress and broad beans to see the best environment for germination. Some of our seeds and beans are growing well.
We started with the same amount of seeds and beans in each jar or dish. We are giving them all the same amount of water and light unless this is their one variable. This is to make sure it is a fair test. Some of the variables are salty water, smoothie, sand, food colouring, hot water, classical music, litter, compost, shade, extra water or no light at all.
Which do you think will grow the best? Leave your comments below!
