P3H ‘Time Travellers’

Here are some photos from our ‘Time Travellers’ topic

We learned all about life in Dunblane in the past and how people lived.

We were very lucky to have a visit from Pam who used to work in the old Springbank Mill. Pam shared lots of interesting facts and stories with us. We also worked with P2/3 and learned to weave together which was lots of fun!

We learned about famous scots such as Robbie Burns and Charles Rennie Mackintosh who continue to inspire others today through their work in the past. We created our own Charles Rennie Mackintosh inspired artwork which we were very proud of.

P3/4W Haiku Poetry

Today P3/4W were learning about Haiku poems.  Haiku poetry is traditional in Japan.  Each Haiku is only 3 lines.  Each line follows a pattern of syllables 5-7-5.

Here are the poems we wrote.  They all have a Scottish theme.  We hope you enjoy them.

P3H – Glasgow Science Centre Trip

Last week we had a fantastic time at the Science centre.

Here are some pictures of our trip.

We got to investigate and try all of the different science activities and enjoyed a Fun with Forces Christmas Workshop! We had to help santa sort out all of the push and  pull toys. Then we had to make a rocket to help Rudolph get back to the North Pole in time for Christmas!

We loved being able to share our learning with others.
