The ‘Unsinkable Ship’

Today Primary 5 took on the Titanic Building Challenge.

Building the Titanic Challenge

We learned about the size and structure of the Titanic and to work together as a team.

Success Criteria

To be successful we had to

  • Create a large picture of the Titanic on the wall
  • Include all features of the real Titanic
  • Make the size of the features and the ship in proportion
  • Listen to each other
  • Make decisions and solve problems
  • Make sure everyone had a job to do

We had a very successful afternoon.

Group 4 drew the cabins on deck.
Group 3 working on the funnels.
Group 2 had responsibility for making the hull.
Group 1 used lots of different materials to create the sea.
Putting the jigsaw pieces together.
Looks great up on the wall.

Scottish National Portrait Gallery Visit (P5)

Today our P5 class visited the Scottish National Portrait Gallery and were asked the question, ‘Does a portrait need a face?’

Mrs Wards’ group visited the library first.

Adding a new face to a portrait.
Discussing portraits in the library.
Inside the gallery.
Learning about portraits in the beautiful Library.

After discussing portraits and looking at some examples in the Library we went into the gallery and looked at some modern portraits.

The Three Oncologists

The Three Oncologists’ painting was fascinating.

Our final task was to describe a portrait painting to our partner and then ask them to draw it. This was great fun!

Thank you very much to the staff at the gallery who looked after us so well.
