P4/5 will be visiting Stirling Castle on Tuesday 29th January. This will form part of our research that we are doing on medieval castles. The class have started working in small groups, and will be creating a presentation or book about their findings. On our visit we will be learning about medieval writing materials and the children will have an opportunity to design and make their own ’seal’. Of course we will be having a good look round the castle and bringing back lots of useful information to include in our studies. Letters with details about the trip will be sent out next week.
Thanks

WELCOME TO 2008! January 7, 2008
Posted by dking in : Uncategorized , 1 comment so farIt was great having everyone back today, raring to go in 2008. The class thought about their new year resolutions and wrote them on a ‘new leaf’, which we are going to display on our resolution tree.
We are starting a new topic in Environmental Studies, looking at Medieval Scotland. We have started by exploring what we already know and identifying what areas we would like to learn about. We are hoping to learn about medievel sites in our local area and the Battle of Dunbar! We will also be linking in our language and Drama work to this topic.
In Maths we are starting work on Angles.
The P4’s start their 10 week block of swimming on Thursday - so make sure you all have your costumes with you!
Thanks
Miss King
