Term 3 - Part 1 -

Term 3 got off to a very Scottish start!  Room 5 were very busy learning all about Robert Burns.  They enjoyed learning about his life and learning some Scots Language and listening to poems from other Scottish poets.  At the Burns assembly, our poetry winners; Beth Turnbull, Lina Kharel and Hollie Campbell did an excellent job of reciting our class poem, Mince and Tatties by JK Annand.  Well done girls, you did a fantastic job!

 

Whilst learning about Robert Burns the class also looked at all things Scottish, including tartan and some traditional Scottish food.  The children created some beautiful tartan by weaving different coloured paper together.  They also made some tartan biscuits, although catching the icing before it hit the biscuit was the most fun part! 

Some tartan biscuits!

In ICT the class have been gaining and consolidating many new skills.  Two in particular are ‘copying’ an image and ‘pasting’ it into a document.  This is quite tricky so if there are any opportunities at home practise, let P2b show you how much of an expert they have become!

Room 5 have made a great start to our new topic ‘Fairtrade Farming’ and have so far explored which type of food is grown in different countries around the world and are gaining an understanding as to why Fairtrade is such an important thing for farmers across the world.  

We also made a class pictograph and our bar graphs about our favourite farm animals!

                                                    

They will also be looking at the journey that their food takes to get from the farm to their plate with all different types of food that they eat on a regular basis.
