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:

 

Last Thursday, the big event happened and we invited Primary 4-6 clans to the Discovery Den to see what we had achieved. Here is some of our feedback:

“For each and everyone I really liked how much time you put into this and how much you knew and I can’t believe how much is happening in our lives and I can’t believe it is true. I can’t wait until the next showcase.” – Harlen
“It was amazingly awesome” – Rory
“I really liked the science parts that you put in and you knew so much and I can’t wait to ask my brother more at home!” – Amel 
“I loved the torture game, I tortured Yuvi!” – Lewis
“I really liked it because there was so many details – like Arabic. In the torture game I liked how there was pictures” – Sara
“I loved the food!” – Kira W
“I loved the food and how much effort you put into making it” – Poppy
“I loved the Kahoot because we bet Mrs McGarvey” – Beni 
“I loved the food and I liked the science experiment” – Rachel
“I loved the Kahoot!!!” – Yuvi
“I loved the wordsearch, it was easy” – Jed
“I loved how much effort you put in and the food. I loved that you had all the world leaders!” – James 
“I loved it all and the food was so tasty” – Anav

 

See for yourself just how fab it was!:

Dundee Clan – Water Cycle and Money

The Water Cycle

As part of our learning about the Rainforest we explored the Water Cycle.  We learnt words such as evaporation, condensation and precipitation.  We discussed what each word means and what takes place at each of these points in the cycle.  We created a water cycle in a bag experiment and placed it on our clan window.  Hopefully we will see the water cycle in action.

Money

We have been learning about money.  We have been revising the coins and notes we use, totalling money amounts and making amounts in different ways.  We also created our own shops with items and prices displayed and went shopping in each other’s shops, recording items we would like to purchase, noting their cost.  We discussed totalling amounts and starting with adding the pounds first and then the pence finding that this was an efficient strategy to use.

Aberdeen Celebrates Diwali

This week, Aberdeen learned about the significance of Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights. We heard the Hindu story of Rama and Sita, discussed its main message, and then made paper lanterns to symbolise the victory of light over darkness. Our special visitors brought with them a selection of items used in their celebration of Diwali and were kind enough to share their family traditions and answer some keen questions! We were even treated to a taste of some traditional coconut ladoo. Thank you for enriching our understanding of this important festival.
