Scotland topic

1 Comment

This term we have been learning all about Scotland.

First we coloured in and labelled a giant map of Scotland. We have learned about different castles in Scotland then used clay to create our own castles. We found out information about Robert Burns then typed up our own poems using Scottish dialect. We found this a bit tricky. We read some Our Wullie stories and wrote our own Our Wullie comic strip.  We all enjoyed making shortbread and yesterday we finished off our newspaper reports about the Loch Ness monster. P7 are also coming in on Mondays to help us make PowerPoint presentations about Scotland.

This week we have enjoyed writing using Viking Runes, playing in the galley boat, making clay Viking Longhouses, watching ‘Gudrun: The Viking Princess’ and drawing and painting Viking people.

 

We have been learning about length and measurement, practising all the phonics we have learned so far, making a toy with Mr Rose which required elastic energy and sharing storysacks with the secondary pupils.

Finally, today we held our toy sale in class.  We were really busy organising for the sale and helping set up the class with assistance from Primary 6.  The sale was a huge success and we raised £132.20.

Our week!

On Tuesday we were doing Shetland dancing with Mrs Redfern and we were doing the Canadian barn dance. First we got in a circle  the male on the inside and the female on the outside. And we had to change partners every time the tune moved on.

Today the primary 6 had play leaders with the p.1 and the p.2 we played three games. P6 are learning how to lead games. The games names were duck duck goose,the clap game,stick in the mud and the animal game. By  Charlie and Max
