Day: January 21, 2022

This week in P5 we have been learning how to recite our Scottish poems and learning all about the poet’s craft. We have have looked in detail at stories too and how Scot’s language compares to English. We  created our own Scottish poems using a range of describin’ and daein words!

As a class we also created a plan for our information reports on Pop It’s and used this and our own ideas to help us finish our reports.

We are continuing to learn about information handling. We have been focusing on creating our own bar/line graphs and understanding how they are used. We are also learning about the relationship between multiplication and division. We played a few games outside to help us remember our facts.

As part of Scot’s learning, we looked at the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. We tried to create our own version of the famous rose pattern to show our use of line, shape and colour.

For our Article of the week, P6a were considering the following:

Article 7 – the right to a name and nationality

Article 8  – the right to an identity

We discussed the things which make us all unique, such as hair or skin colour, gender preference, fingerprints, languages we speak and things we like to do.

We then created our own personal coat of arms to represent our uniqueness, here are some examples.

This week we based our learning around a Romans Topic.  The children were very interested in what they were learning.  We went to the school library and found books about the Romans, then we wrote some facts about them for our Writing lesson.

In maths we used chalk outside and paint inside to learn Roman Numerals up to 20! We could then match the Roman Numerals with numbers to 20.

We also designed our own Roman shields.
