Primary 3/2 – Food As Art

This week during reading Primary 3’s have been looking at a non fiction book called Food As Art.  From this they were asked to create their own food picture.  The P2s joined in with this activity by looking at their own book and choosing a suitable picture that they could create from the same materials. They had great fun creating their pictures.

P6/5 Literacy Circles

P6/5 have been practising the literacy circles roles before beginning their proper circles. This week each pupil was given the task of creative captain. This is a favourite task as all pupils have the opportunity to show their creativity. The homework produced this week included videos, models, drawings, youtube videos, powtoons and news reports. The standard was very high. Well done everyone

Roman Scavenger Hunt in P3 and P4/3

003 004 008 009 010 012

To finish our Romans theme this term, P3 and P4/3 had a Roman scavenger hunt. In groups of three, pupils were given a question sheet and they had to match the question with information hidden in the classrooms and corridor. They then had to answer the questions. All pupils enjoyed finding the hidden clues and in addition to finding out more about what Romans brought to Britain, they were able to improve their reading skills and reading for information.

Debating with P3 and P4/3

004 002 001        P3 and P4/3 were having a debate yesterday. They were split into two teams. One team had to be the Iceni tribe, whose leader was Queen Boudicca. The other team were from the Atrebates tribe. The Iceni were a Celtic tribe who hated Rome and the Atrebates were a Celtic tribe who wanted Roman things in Brittania. Each side had to think about the pros and cons and argue either for Roman or Celtic Britain. There were some excellent points made by both sides and it was clear that everyone has learned a lot about Romans and Roman Britain.
