In Primary 7 our first IDL topic this term was Scottish Musicians, past and present.
We have learned about the career, family and music of a variety of Scottish musicians that pupils listen to currently and some from the not too distant past.
Some of the musicians we learned about are Lewis Capaldi, Calvin Harris, Gerry Cinnamon, Runrig, The Incredible String Band, Gerry Rafferty and Annie Lennox. We have researched, produced posters and written non-chronological reports on a chosen musician.
We also listened to the different genres of music and discussed how they affected our emotions, mood and if they created mental images in our minds. We had some very good discussions as well as enjoying some music from artists we hadn’t heard before.
