We all had a great day on our trip to Stirling Castle. We learned lots about the history of the castle itself, and even more about World War 2 during our workshop.
We got started with a tour of the castle, learning about who stayed there and when. We also learned how the castle was used during World War 2.
We then took part in a World War 2 workshop, where we learned about weapons, spies and tricks.

As part of their rainforest topic, P7 learned about deforestation. Each child was given a role eg forest inhabitant, conservationist, government official, cattle farmer and they had the task of walking around the class to meet others. When they met another person, they both introduced who they were, if they were for or against deforestation and state why. Children kept a note of this so by the end of the lesson they had a condensed table of thoughts.
Here are some of our fruity head pictures.
Today P7 were learning about perimeter. The children went outdoors to draw their own shapes using chalk and metre sticks, and their partners calculated the perimeter.
