Scotland!

We had a great week learning all about Scotland!

We made the Scottish flag:

We learnt about the animals of Scotland and made some Highland cows and sheep: 

We discovered the flower of Scotland: the Thistle. And we learnt a lot of interesting facts about it. 

We learnt that in Scotland, different family names (clans) have different tartans. Then we made our very own tartan!

We also tried out some Scottish dancing! 

 We made some bagpipes to make music with :)

We're going on a word hunt!

This week, we focused on reading words! And I am so impressed at how far the kids of RM have come!

In these pictures, the kids had to work together to find words that I was reading out. The team work was tremendous and a lot of them used the initial sound as a clue to find the word. These are all good signs of early healthy readers!
