Aberdeen Clan have been learning about the history and recent changes to our local area. We enjoyed sharing our knowledge of East Calder landmarks and places of interest before plotting them on a map. Next, we will be using historical evidence to explore different types of housing in the area and compare the lives of people in the past with our own.
Dundee Clan performed their clan assembly, ‘Save the Rainforest’, today to the whole school and to our families. Dundee clan have had a fantastic time learning all about the rainforest. We have explored where rainforests are in the world, why they are so important, what the issues are affecting them and what we can do to support them. We have loved exploring the rainforest and are sad that it is time to move on to new learning. Some of the children are going to continue spreading the word and learn more, and have started a club together. We hope everyone enjoyed our assembly today. We enjoyed preparing it and performing it for everyone. I wonder if our song is still stuck in your head! We can’t stop singing it!
