Calderwood Clan Explorers<\/p>\n
Throughout the first term we have been exploring our namesake clan \u2018Dundee\u2019.\u00a0 We completed some research to find out where Dundee is located in Scotland and what important landmarks can be found there.\u00a0 We explored the Tay Bridge, the RRS Discovery ship, the V & A museum and Broughty Castle.\u00a0 We completed research through reading and researching online.\u00a0 We presented our findings to the rest of our clan.<\/p>\n
In Maths, we discussed the rules of 1-line of symmetry.\u00a0 We practised this skill by using pictures of different landmarks from Dundee and drawing the other half of the picture to make sure it was symmetrical.\u00a0 We loved this.\u00a0 We realised a lot of buildings are symmetrical and discussed how this skill is used in architecture in the world of work.<\/p>\n
We have been learning how to identify the location of a landmark on a map by using grid references.<\/p>\n
Finally, we created a cityscape of Dundee.\u00a0 We explored warm and cool colours, discussing how these make us feel and how they are seen in a sunset.\u00a0 We created our sunset pictures using watercolours discussing how to blend the colours together.\u00a0 We explored how much water is needed to get the colour just right.\u00a0 After our pictures dried, we cut out our chosen Dundee landmark from black sugar paper to make our cityscape,\u00a0 These are displayed in our cabin and look beautiful.<\/p>\n
