P4 Roundhouse Building

Time for a little update on the roundhouse…

P4 have been very busy this term constructing our very own Celtic roundhouse! With the help of Tom and Sarah-Jane (Murron’s parents, who are also archaeologists!) we were able to make a life-size (for us anyway) version of a roundhouse. It has been hard work, involving lots of digging, hunting for mud, stripping and weaving willow and building the overall structure. We are very proud of how it looks and have been surprised at how much learning has come from this project! We have had a first-hand experience of how ancient Celts would have built their own homes and how difficult it could be, we have learned about joins and structures and also about how to use different tools. Keep posted or pop in and visit to see how it is coming along!

Until next time…

Primary 4 🙂
