Visit to New Lanark- P2/3 and P3

20170202_111414We arrived at New Lanark and found out that the bell in the tower rang at 5am to make sure everyone was up and ready for work at 6am!

20170202_111734We had a look at the Washroom.

20170202_112015The children went into a Victorian room.

20170202_112243We found out what a gazunder was and what you did with it.

20170202_112709Then we visited a room from the 1960’s and looked at the similarities and differences.

20170202_113154There were some interesting suggestions for the carpet beater.

20170202_113448It was interesting to see what was on sale in the shop.

We were transported back in time to the Victorian School Room. The boys had smocks and the girls had dresses with ribbons. We had to sit in rows with the boys on one side and the girls on the other.

We practised our handwriting on slate, using a slate pencil.

We had to identify and point to countries in Europe, with a long pole, on a huge map.

We really enjoyed our trip!

Outdoor Learning- Maths.

We were making 3D shapes in the playground.

We had to find twigs and we used string/wool to help us to tie the sticks together to make the shapes. First, some of us had made a 2D shape and built them in to 3D shapes.

Daniel L., Calan and Dean started their shape building by tying 4 twigs together first to make a square based pyramid.

We were finding 2D shape in our environment. We found circles, squares, rectangles and a pentagon. Next, we are going to find some 3D shapes.

We went into the school grounds and found fungi under the trees, brambles, elderberries and ash cones. We were surprised to find some blossom on one of the trees.

We were testing our helicopter seeds. The card helicopter seed was better because it flew better and it fell to the ground quicker as it was heavier. Some peoples’ paper helicopter seeds flew away because they were  thinner and lighter and the wind was very strong.
