Our class loved learning about the Festival of Lights! We made beautiful Diwali crafts, including colourful paper lamps to symbolise light triumphing over darkness. One of our pupils proudly represented us in the Diwali dance show, dressed in traditional clothing and performing brilliantly. What a wonderful way to celebrate diversity and share the joy of this special festival!
Our Primary 5 class have been busy creating shoebox models to show the different classes on board the Titanic. From the grand first-class cabins to the more modest third-class rooms, the children have learned about the contrasts in living conditions and the experiences of passengers on that historic journey.
Through this project, we explored themes of fairness and equality, linking our learning to UNCRC Article 2 – the right of every child to be treated fairly, no matter who they are. Just as passengers on the Titanic were treated differently depending on their class, we discussed how important it is that in today’s world every child is valued equally and given the same rights and opportunities.
The children showed fantastic creativity, teamwork, and attention to detail – well done P5! 🌟
