Have you ever heard of a brave explorer named Christopher Columbus, who sailed across the big ocean and discovered new lands? Or how about a kind woman named Rosa Parks, who refused to give up her seat on the bus and helped make things fair for everyone? Can you think of other amazing people from long ago and the cool things they did?
Miss Baronet started our week with a super lesson on Neil Armstrong and Amelia Earhart and what an amazing conversation the bairns had! We learnt lots of new things and enjoyed the interactive activities. We then looked at Rosa Parks and did a small activity where Miss Hunter was only going to take the bairns with blue eyes on a holiday… that didn’t go down very well! A super (mature) discussion was had and the importance of what Rosa Parks did. A really enjoyable big question this week! And thanks to all the parents who got involved with sending in brilliant books – we loved looking at them!
This term in the Music Class, Primary 1 and 2 have been learning songs about the sea and have also been listening to pieces of orchestral music which are inspired by the sea. The pupils have been learning to identify the different instruments in the orchestra and have also shared ‘what the music makes them think of’ when listening to music. They have also being doing musical activities such as ‘Meeting the Musicians’, learning a couple of songs with sign language signs and practicing how to make a ‘musical storm’ in preparation for watching the Royal Scottish Orchestra on-line concert called ‘Tara the Tugboat’.
