Houses and Homes 2011

We are very lucky to have Miss Meikle with us until March.

She is a great asset to the class and has already introduced some great ideas and delivered fantastic lessons. She will be leading our 2011 topic of Houses and Homes. She spent some time with the children asking what exactly they would like to know about the topic and together they made a list of small questions, which they condensed into Big Questions. The children are now very motivated and can’t wait for their questions to be answered!

The children and researching homes through the ages

We have been learning home to conserve energy in the home.

Researching the oldest house in Scotland.

After looking at different skylines to see the shapes of building , we made our own pictures.

We always love to use the technology, look at this fantastic house.

Miss Meikle asked the children to build their dream houses as part of their homework.

Here are some more of our wonderful Dream Homes we contructed:

I don’t know if you noticed that Sara’s house, on the left of the picture above, was made of cakes. We cut and ate it! Thanks very much to her gran for helping her make it, it was delicious.
