3rd class have been learning about the Stone Age, and on Friday, a group of children from the class decided to build their own hut at lunchtime. They were inspired by the round huts built by hunter-gatherers long ago and by the Viking settlements 4th class made recently as part of their learning. The children also constructed a stone wall which resembled the walls built by Stone Age farmers to keep their sheep in.

It was lovely to see them applying their learning on their own initiative and in their own free time outside the classroom. They worked together as a team and had interesting conversations about how people lived back then. They were also heard using the topic-related vocabulary learned in class, and lots of problem-solving was observed.

Maith sibh!
