Good Afternoon Primary 7,<\/p>\n
I hope you are all well and enjoying the transition work you have been completing with your high school.\u00a0 I understand that many of you may be busy with transition work so don\u2019t worry if you don\u2019t manage to complete this task.<\/p>\n
This week, instead art, I am going to set you a technology task.\u00a0 Since you have been studying and comparing Scotland with Canada, I thought you could use your technology skills to create a model of a landmark from one of the countries.\u00a0 I have attached below a short video showing some Scottish Landmarks and another showing some Canadian landmarks.\u00a0 Watch the videos and choose a landmark that you would like to make a model of e.g. The Forth Rail Bridge in Scotland or C.N. Tower in Canada.\u00a0 Feel free to choose another landmark that is not on either of the videos.\u00a0 They are just there to give you some ideas.<\/p>\n
