P7 have a visit from the mobile Military Museum

Today P7 had an visit from Ian and his mobile Military Museum. This was an excellent hands on activity for learners to explore primary and secondary evidence and discuss, problem solved and ask questions on their Social Subjects topic of WW2.

I am sure they will remember this learning for a long time!

This week the homework will be slightly up in the air due to various events in school. the children have a Conscription worksheet to complete and are being asked to learn their 8 tines table and work on the Sumdog challenge.

For 9.11.16 – personal research for Remembrance. Pupils should visit the local war memorial and research a local soldier and produce a short piece of information on them using the Internet. Work will be discussed in class this week. I expect pupils to gather as much information as possible inc any relevant photos/documents.
