Calderwood Curriculum – Page 11 – Calderwood Primary and Nursery

Aberdeen Clan have been learning to recognise money and its value. After discussing the difference between needs and wants, we worked in groups to create our own shops. We had to consider how best to market our products including different pricing strategies. After some window shopping, we were set a budget and had to work out if we had enough money to buy the items on our wish list! We worked out how much more money we would need or if we would receive any change.

The Bens IDL Showcase

It was that time of the term again for P7!

When they came together to show off all the work and learning they have been doing during their IDL projects!

This term, we used Mural to collaborate and find out our areas of interest. We then tried to group them together to come up with an over arching topic. This term it was: Global Conflict.

See our work and planning here.

We spent 6 weeks learning about the following sub-topics:

World Leaders

Global Politics and Governments

Human Rights

Wars Throughout History

How the Media talks about conflict

To Assess, we created a Rubric together, so we knew what we had to do to be successful:
