Old Edinburgh Tour With Mr Howie

Primary 5 went on a fantastic trip with Mr Howie a couple of weeks ago and found out all about Old Edinburgh.  We began in Greyfriars' Kirk where we used drawings and maps to look at evidence of how the building had changed over time; looked at the gravestones and found out about some of the people who had lived long ago and heard tales of Greyfriars' Bobby and also less savoury tales of body snatchers.  It was an excellent trip and we learnt so much.

Mary Queen of Scots workshop

Primary 5C visited the National Museum of Scotland for a workshop on Mary Queen of Scots.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by her royal Highness, Mary Queen of Scots who had time-travelled to work with us and tell us if her life. She majestically guided us around artefacts relating to her after teaching us how to bow and curtesy appropriately.  We learned so much and had a lot of fun.

14 DAY CHALLENGE

Class will each choose a skill they want to develop and over 14 days straight will practise daily, recording their progress and results. We hope to prove that any chosen challenge skill can be improved using a GROWTH MINDSET: (practice, practice, practice makes perfect! )

This success will hopefully affirm the 'BELIEF' in our motto 'BELIEVE ACHIEVE'

 

Here is a great clip which clearly demonstrates the underpinning research http://youtu.be/hLqT6_1cv00

Please encourage your learner to practise and record their results of their chosen skill but have a great holiday! Adios
