We’ve now reached the end of our World War 2 project. Towards the end of our project we learned about the Holocaust and created t-shirts to promote Holocaust Memorial day. We also watched some of the videos on the Holocaust Memorial Day website. Sean brought in his dad’s gas mask to show the rest of the class and we also investigated D-Day and it’s impact on bringing World War 2 to an end.
We also worked on the striking Blitz images below:

We learned Scottish poems which we said in front of three judges from the Denny Burns club and at the Taste of Scotland event. Our family and class teacher helped us to learn our poems. The poems were: To a Mouse, To a Louse, To a Mountain Daisy, The First Date, Sharleen I’m Shy, The Coming o The Wee Malkies , The Ballad of Janny Mackay and The Evacuee.
We also learned some Scottish songs for the Taste of Scotland event. We worked hard learning them and putting in actions to make us feel better while we sang them and keep us smiling. The songs were: Ye Banks and Braes, Donald Wher’s Yer Troosers, Caledonia, Jeely Piece Song, Mary Mack and Auld Lang Syne.
We made roses to put up in the school hall and here’s how we made them:
1. First we drew roses on plain paper and we had to use lines, shapes and sizes.
2. Then we had to trace them and put the tracing paper on polystyrene.
3. We used that to print on to paper with printing ink.
4. Then the teacher put them on red card and we had them finished.
With the original drawing we used water-colour paints and painted them with very light colours.
We did Scotland flags with different colours of tissue paper. First we had to draw the Scotland flag on the piece of paper and then we had to stick all of the blue bits and then the teacher cut the bits on the side off the sides.

Can you see the village square with all the shops? Can you see the doctors house? Did you spot the Anderson shelters in the gardens?

Our P4-7 Christmas Concert was a big success. Our audience has a great time listening to each class sing some festive tunes and play their instruments. We also raised a lot of money for Strathcarron Hospice and for school funds. Well done P4-7!

In class we have been listening to the audiobook of Goodnight Mister Tom by Michelle Magorian. After listening to the first couple of chapters, we each drew an illustration to show what we thought the village of ‘Little Weirwold’ the setting of the book, looks like. The teacher chose two drawings; Yasmin’s and Jake’s and we will combine their ideas to create a large wall display.
