P4 having been looking at Pictish foods as part of their IDL topic this term.
We decided to try our hand at making butter by using ancient technologies. After we had made it, we all had chance to taste some along with oatcakes, another staple of the Pictish diet.
The oatcakes and butter were delicious
Our IDL theme this term has been the Romans. We have been learning lots of new information about these people in the past and how we know about their lives from examining evidence. We were very excited when we got to handle real life Roman finds which were discovered during a dig in Falkirk, at Mrs Donald’s mum’s house. We had already discovered the Romans had been in that area, through our investigation of the Antonine Wall, and this evidence confirmed what we knew. We loved being archaeologists and trying to piece the finds and evidence together.
In art we have been learning about the use of colour. We have been looking at primary colours, and investigating by mixing to make secondary and tertiary colours. We have loved a bit of messy work and experimenting with colours to develop new colours and shades. We have then used this in our art activities and creating beautiful pieces of art.
What a fantastic assembly from P7/6 today! We enjoyed hearing all about your Rockband learning and hearing songs from one of the bands you found influential to your learning. The whole audience could see just how much you had enjoyed this learning through your enthusiasm, attention to detail, fabulous performance and super music video. Well done P7/6, you are the champions!
