Eric Liddell

IMG_1769eric-liddell-400

Today we had a visitor in school. Graeme came to school to tell us all about the life of a notable Christian – Eric Liddell. Eric Liddell was an amazing Scottish athlete who won the gold medal in the 400m race in the 1924 Olympics in Paris. Although Eric is famous for his success in the Olympics, Graeme told us about Eric’s missionary work and how Eric’s beliefs influenced him to do lots of good in the world and help other people. A film has been made about Eric’s achievements called ‘Chariots of Fire’.

WWII Propaganda

Primary 2 and 3 have been learning all about propaganda during WWII. Their topic homework was to create an eye-catching propaganda poster that would encourage the people in Britain during the war.

Vaila’s poster was trying to encourage women to join the land army.

Bonjour de France

IMG_1778

Mairianne’s topic this term is France. Her topic homework over the last two weeks was to prepare a presentation for the class in which she would take the other pupils on a tour of France. Our lovely tour guide Mairianne started the tour in Paris where we visited the Eiffel Tower, learning lots of interesting facts, then we were off to the Catherdral of Notre Dame. Mairianne told us all about the very famous French Designer Coco Chanel. The class were surprised to hear that frogs legs are a French delicacy, they much preferred hearing about all the different kinds of French cheese and bread! It was very interesting to hear about French farming, the boys and girls didn’t realise what a huge industry it is in France. The tour ended with a few funny pictures of Mr Bean on holiday in France which made us all laugh. Well done Mairianne, you were an amazing tour guide. I’m so proud of your presentation 🙂

WWII air raid!

IMG_1333 IMG_1734

We have been learning about gas masks. We made boxes for our gas masks to go in, inside the lid we glued on the instructions gas masks came with in WWII.

Gas Masks during the war
Gas MaskBy September 1939 some 38 million gas masks had been given out, house to house, to families. They were never to be needed.

Everyone in Britain was given a gas mask in a cardboard box, to protect them from gas bombs, which could be dropped during air raids.

WWII Evacuees

We have been learning all about children being evacuated during WWII. Evacuation tried to ensure the safety of young children from the cities that were considered to be in danger of German bombing. We tried to imagine how evacuees must have felt having to leave their family. We’ve been pretending we’re evacuees in WWII so we’ve been busy making boxes for our next topic lesson on gas masks.

We were very excited to see the pictures of Thomas’ catch from when he was off on his dads boat. When Thomas’ creel was hauled up he was delighted to see he had caught a lobster and velvet crabs. Thomas said he enjoyed eating the crab and lobster meat. Well done Thomas, hopefully you’ll have another lobster in your creel next time you go off 🙂
