This week in our topic we completed our Iron Age shields for display. We received an archaeology investigation kit from Archaeology Scotland and looked at real artefacts. We tried to figure out what they were or what they were used for, then all was revealed at the end. There were whorls used in making wool into yarn and parts of clay pots. There were also armlets and glass beads that they wore as jewellery to show their status. We also found out about Iron Age houses, including Roundhouses, Crannogs, Hill Forts and Brochs.

In our writing we continued to learn about acrostic poetry and wrote poems about winter, then developed our cutting and folding skills by making snowflakes.

Aiste and Ellie – I enjoyed making snowflakes.

Lauchlin, Liam and Zak – I enjoyed making my Celtic shield.
