Primary 7 have been celebrating Burns Night with some Irn Bru and a wee bit of shortbread .  We have been learning our Burns poems and are preparing to perform them in front of the class next week.   The children were using the reading skills of clarifying and inference to try to work out what some of the words meant in the Burns poem ‘My Hoggie’.

In our World War 2 Home Front topic we have been

learning about ‘Make Do and Mend’  We have been knitting little dish cloths with some wool.  We are continuing to make little models of Anderson shelters,  We were very pleased with our war time carrot biscuits. We followed the instructions we wrote to make them.   They tasted much better that we thought and we couldn’t really taste the carrot.

We went down to P1 to support the work that they were doing in science.  We made push and pull vehicles as part on their learning about Forces.
