Scottish History - The Celts build Crannogs

This week we have been learning about the Celts who built Crannogs in order to make their living space safer.                                                  

Some groups made and presented posters while others took to the great outdoors to source materials to build model Crannogs!!  One group even managed to make their Crannog float!!

Puppet Workshop

On Friday 25th April we took part in a fantastic puppet workshop.  A very talented puppeteer visited our school to perform for us.                     

We then performed a story using the puppets.  It was great fun and had us all giggling with laughter! 

We were then able to use the puppets to perform our own peedie shows.  

Different types of Pollution

In Flotta class we have begun learning about Conservation and Pollution.  We started off by thinking about what Conservation and Pollution was.  Then we thought more in depth about Pollution.   We split into groups to sort out the main categories of pollution and designed a poster to display the type, the physical changes and the effects it has on people, animals etc.  

Scottish History

As part of our Scottish History work we have been learning about the Hillforts and the Celts.  We learnt about the Brochs which have been made all over Scotland, but in particular; in Orkney.  

Some of us made models of Brochs and buildings showing what houses would have looked like at that time.                                                          

Others used clay to demonstrate their understanding of what the Brochs would have looked like. Each group then presented their learning to the rest of the class.
