We have been finishing off our Roman Topic and learning about the Pompeii Disaster that happened in 79 AD.
We made replica models of Mount Vesuvius and had fun watching them erupt using bicarbonate of Soda and Vinegar. We added some other ingredients to make it look like lava.
We’ve had a busy term settling into Primary 4. We learnt lots of new routines and done lots of hard work in Literacy, Numeracy and Health and Well Being.
We have chosen some photos to share…
Our Roman topic is well underway and pupils have enjoyed challenges where they have had to work together using everyone’s skills to design and construct models.
We’ve been learning about the Roman Army and how the Empire expanded. We learnt some of their tactics when they went into battle.
We made Roman Catapults and tested them using cotton wool balls. We had to make changes to our models if the cotton wool didn’t move far.
We have been learning about Roman daily life and what they looked like and wore. We were shocked to learn that they cleaned their clothes in Urine!
We made our own versions of Roman Sandals. They had to be worn by our Roman lady (Zoe) and not fall apart.
Primary 4 had a great time on our School Trip to Aith Leisure Centre and Michael’s Wood. It is one of our top 5 highlights in P4. The other highlights will be shared at our end of term assembly next week.
We hope you enjoy the photos.
